Moisture and dry formats
A lyophilised material is dry by design, so keeping moisture out helps preserve that state. Sealed vials and careful handling reduce exposure to humidity, which is why guidance often emphasises keeping dry formats sealed and dry until use.
Light exposure
Some materials are kept protected from light as a precaution. Storing vials in their packaging or in a dark, cool place is a simple way to reduce light exposure where product guidance recommends it.
Following the label
These are general principles. The authoritative source for any specific material is its label and supplied documentation, which state the recommended conditions.
