Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place under an inert atmosphere or in a desiccator. Recommended long-term storage temperature is 2-8°C. Handle and open containers only in a controlled, moisture-free environment such as a glovebox.
