Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong bases and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for extended stability, or at controlled room temperature for short-term use. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture uptake and volatilization.
