Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place, ideally at room temperature (15-25°C). Minimize exposure to air and moisture during handling to maintain product integrity.
