Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
