Dimethyl sulphoxide
Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO, (CH₃)₂SO) is a polar aprotic solvent known for its exceptional ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar compounds, high boiling point (189 °C), and low toxicity relative to similar solvents. It is widely used in organic synthesis, cryopreservation of cells, pharmaceutical formulation, and as a solvent in spectroscopic and electrochemical studies. DMSO readily penetrates biological membranes, requiring cautious handling, as it can carry dissolved substances directly into the bloodstream.
Dimethyl sulphoxide ≥99%, liquid
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a dipolar, aprotic solvent. Has been shown to accelerate strand renaturation (1-10% concentration) and is believed to give the nucleic acid thermal stability against depurination. By heating the solid form to approximately 30 °C, the product can be melted without harming it's stability.

Dimethyl sulphoxide for molecular biology
Supplier: MP Biomedicals
Storage: Room Temperature, desiccate, store under nitrogen.
Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a dipola, aprotic solvent. It has been shown to accelerate strand renaturation (1-10% concentration) and is believed to give the nucleic acid thermal stability against depurination.
Dimethyl Sulfoxide is used to enhance dermal absorption of many chemicals, as a solvent for many organic and inorganic compounds including fats, carbohydrates, dyes, resins, and polymers, in antifreeze or hydraulic fluids, as a cryopreservative for cell cultures, oxidation of thiols and disulfides to sulfonic acids, as a PCR cosolvent to help improve yields, especially in long PCR. DMSO is routinely used in polymerase chan reaction (PCR), amplification of cDNA libraries, DNA sequencing, column-loading buffers for poly (A)+ RNA selection, buffers for the transformation of competent E. coli, and transfection protocols.
To prepare sterile solutions use a teflon or nylon membrane to sterile-filter the DMSO - do not use a cellulose acetate membrane.
