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, amines, and oxidizing agents. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent decomposition. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C (refrigerated) for optimal stability.
