Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed and under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C.
