[Directly from article and was plagiarized] Due to air oxidation, DTT is a relatively unstable compound whose useful life can be extended by refrigeration and handling in an inert atmosphere.

DTT is unstable in ambient atmospheric conditions due to oxidation from oxygen; DTT should be stored and handled under inert gasses to prevent oxidation. Dithiothreitol shelf life can be extended with refrigeration at temperatures ranging from 2-8 degrees celcius.
