Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and volatility. The container must be kept in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Allow the container to reach ambient temperature before opening to prevent moisture condensation.
