Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation and hydrolysis. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; allow the sealed container to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to prevent condensation. For long-term stability, store desiccated.
