Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, store under dry, inert conditions (e.g., nitrogen or argon atmosphere) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) or as specified on the label. For long-term stability, desiccants are recommended within the storage container.
