Storage Conditions: Store 1-Eicosanol in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, avoiding high temperatures and direct sunlight. Excessive heat may cause oxidation or decomposition, affecting its quality. Maintain moderate humidity to prevent moisture absorption and spoilage. Use tightly sealed containers to prevent exposure to oxygen, moisture, and impurities, slowing oxidation and degradation. Store separately from other chemicals to avoid cross-contamination or unwanted chemical reactions.
Shelf Life: 2 years (unopened)
