Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its hygroscopic and highly volatile nature, the container should be kept tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to minimize moisture uptake and evaporation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
