Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material must be stored in a cool, dry place under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. Handle and open containers in a controlled, dry environment to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture.
