Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its easily oxidized nature, this material should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to maintain stability and prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C for long-term stability. Keep the container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, away from incompatible materials.
