– 100 mL Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO)

This product is designated as Molecular Biology Grade and is suitable for molecular biology applications such as:

• PCR and cDNA library amplification.

• DNA sequencing workflows.

• Cryopreservation of cell lines and bacteriophages (as sterile solution).

• Solvent in organic and molecular biology reactions.

DMSO is also widely utilized in the storage of  cell lines and bacteriophage λ as a cryoprotective agent, but only as a sterile solution. To prepare sterile solutions use a teflon or nylon membrane to sterile-filter the DMSO – do not use a cellulose acetate membrane.

• Tested for DNase, RNase, phosphatase, and protease contamination.

• Lot-to-lot reproducibility validated.

• To prepare sterile DMSO, filter with nylon or PTFE membranes (not cellulose acetate).

• Warm gently if solidified at low temperatures.

• Shipped at: Ambient Temperature.
• Storage: Room Temperature. DMSO can solidify easily and may remain solid at cooler temperatures. Gently warm it to return it to its liquid state.

This product is developed, designed and sold exclusively for Research purposes and in vitro use only (RUO). The product was not tested for use in diagnostics or for drug development, nor is it suitable for administration to humans or animals.
