Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to minimize degradation. Due to its moisture-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept sealed and allowed to reach room temperature before opening to prevent condensation.
