This material should be stored in a cool, dry environment, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It is recommended to use airtight containers to prevent contamination and maintain its chemical stability. Since it is a water-based solution, it should be kept in a container that is resistant to chemical degradation. Proper labeling is essential to ensure safe handling and prevent accidental misuse. Due to its non-toxic nature, it is generally safe to handle, but standard laboratory safety protocols should still be followed. Avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures or mechanical stress to maintain its integrity and performance.
