Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) at 2-8°C in a dry, cool environment. This compound is moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or moisture will degrade product performance. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
