Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic and oxygen-sensitive nature, the container must be kept sealed and handled under inert conditions to prevent degradation.
