Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and volatility. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flames. Due to its highly volatile and easily oxidized nature, containers should be kept sealed and only opened under controlled conditions.
