Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to prevent oxidation and hydrolysis. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air, light, or elevated temperatures should be avoided. Allow the sealed container to reach room temperature before opening to minimize moisture condensation.
