Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) for long-term stability. This compound is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and light-sensitive. Allow the sealed vial to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation. For short-term use, store desiccated at 2-8°C.
