The shelf life of the product in the closed bottle is 12 months from the date of manufacture. In order to prevent air encounters, we recommend keeping the head space in the bottle as small as possible. You may consider an Argon overlay as well. Argon being heavier than air will settle on top of the chemical. We recommend dividing the contents of the bottle (100 mL) in usable aliquots ideally such that each aliquot is used up in one application.
The product is filtered with a 0.22 µm Durapore filter or Cartridge from EMD Millipore (Cat. No. MSP000812).
