Storage —

Sodium Borohydride should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and acids to prevent unwanted reactions. It is best kept in airtight containers to minimize exposure to air and humidity. Due to its reactivity with water, it must be handled in a fume hood to avoid the release of hydrogen gas. Appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn during handling. The compound should not be stored near incompatible materials like strong acids or oxidizing agents. Regular inspection of storage conditions is recommended to ensure the material remains stable and safe for use in laboratory settings.
