Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under desiccant in a dry environment. For long-term stability, store in aliquots under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Allow the vial to equilibrate to room temperature in a desiccator before opening to minimize moisture uptake.
