Reconstitution, Packaging & Storage Format: Pre-measured oral capsules no reconstitution required for research use Storage Temperature: Store at room temperature (1525C), away from direct light and moisture Stability: Maintain in original sealed packaging until use to preserve compound integrity Handling: Avoid exposure to excessive heat, humidity, or UV light The capsule format simplifies laboratory handling by eliminating the preparation steps associated with injectable or lyophilized compounds, making it an efficient choice for high-throughput research environments
