Storage

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