Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Handle and open containers in a controlled, dry environment to prevent decomposition.
