Key Features and Details
Dimethyl Sulfoxide
| SKU | 02194819-CF |
| Alternate Names | DMSO; Methyl sulfoxide; Methyl sulphoxide; Sulfinylbismethane |
| Application Notes | 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. |
