Versatile Industrial Solvent

Dimethyl sulfoxides high polarity and miscibility with a wide range of organic and inorganic solvents make it invaluable in chemical, pharmaceutical, and research applications. As a solvent, DMSO enhances reaction rates and solubility for various substances, facilitating efficient and reliable processes.

Safe Handling and Storage

DMSO is stable and non-hazardous under normal temperatures and pressures. For safety and quality, store DMSO in tightly closed containers in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas. Proper storage maximizes its shelf life of two years and helps maintain its purity and effectiveness.

Wide Range of Applications

Thanks to its unique properties, DMSO is employed as a solvent, cryoprotectant, and laboratory reagent. It supports advanced pharmaceutical research, medical applications, and industrial processes. Its ability to dissolve both polar and nonpolar compounds expands its utility across diverse sectors.

FAQs of Dimethyl sulfoxide:

Q: How should Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: DMSO should be stored in a tightly closed container, away from moisture and sources of ignition, in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This ensures a shelf life of up to two years while maintaining its 99.9% purity.

Q: What are the primary industrial and laboratory uses of DMSO?

A: DMSO is widely used as a solvent in chemical reactions, a cryoprotectant for preserving biological samples, a pharmaceutical excipient, and a laboratory reagent. Its high solubility with many substances makes it especially useful in research and industrial processes.

Q: When is DMSO considered safe to handle, and what precautions should be taken?

A: DMSO is considered non-hazardous and stable under normal conditions, but it can carry dissolved substances through the skin. Always wear suitable gloves and avoid skin contact; ensure workspaces are well-ventilated during use.

Q: Where is your DMSO supplied from, and what packaging options are available?

A: Our DMSO is available in India and can be supplied by manufacturers, distributors, exporters, importers, retailers, traders, and wholesalers. It comes in robust 250kg HDPE drums for secure transport and storage.

Q: What is the process for using DMSO as a cryoprotectant in laboratories?

A: To use DMSO as a cryoprotectant, blend it with cell suspensions before freezing. The recommended concentration is typically 510%. DMSO helps protect cells from ice crystal damage during low-temperature storage.

Q: How does DMSO benefit pharmaceutical and research applications?

A: DMSOs exceptional solvent power allows for the dissolution and delivery of various active ingredients, facilitating drug development and bioavailability studies. Its high purity and stability ensure consistent performance in sensitive research settings.
