This compound is supplied as a lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder and has not been reconstituted. Store immediately upon receipt at 2–8°C in a refrigerator, or at −20°C for long-term storage. Do not expose to room temperature for extended periods prior to use. Keep away from direct light and heat sources.
Once reconstituted with bacteriostatic water (BAC water), the resulting solution should be stored at 4°C and typically remains stable for 4–6 weeks, though stability may vary depending on storage conditions and handling. Discard if any cloudiness, discolouration or particulate matter is observed at any stage.
