Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, well-ventilated place at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and volatility. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed and handled with appropriate precautions to prevent loss and degradation.
