Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at controlled room temperature (15-25°C) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its sensitivity to oxidation, containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to exclude air and moisture.
