Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, this material should be handled and stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis and maintain stability. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
