Most MSDS says that KBr is hygroscopic. Therefore, does it need to be stored in an inert (Ar, N) environment? Or storing it in a drybox is suffice?
Appreciate your experience in storage and handling of the chemical.
Thanks.

Could be kept in a Vacuum Desiccator
I second the previous answer : you can store it in vacuum dessicator. But as you're living in a hot and humid area, you might want to revert to flushing the storage with Nitrogen if you find that vacuum does not suffice.
Cap of bottle should be an air-tight condition under N2 and stored vacuum dessicator.
