Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc. - Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), cell culture reagent

Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), cell culture reagent is ideal for cryopreservation. DMSO is a polar, aprotic organic solvent with many applications in chemical and biological research. DMSO can uniquely provide solubility to certain very polar small molecules, such as simple biomolecules with multiple protic functional groups. It can also be used as an oxidation reagent in certain transformations. The yield of PCR processes is amplified with DMSO as a co-solvent, helping to inhibit the formation of secondary structures from DNA fragments.
