Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container should be kept in a cool, dry place with low humidity. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability, although short-term storage at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) is acceptable. Keep the container sealed when not in use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
