Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, it is recommended to store the product under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). For long-term stability, storage at -20°C is advised. Allow the container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
