Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); therefore, the container must be kept tightly sealed in a dry environment to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect purity and stability. Keep away from incompatible materials.
