General description
- Suitable for Molecular Applications
- Nuclease-Free DMSO
- DNase-Free, RNase-Free, Protease-Free, Phosphatase-Free
- Molecular Biology Grade DMSO
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a highly polar organic reagent that has exceptional solvent properties for organic and inorganic chemicals.
This product is designated as Molecular Biology grade and is suitable for molecular biology applications. It has been analyzed for the presence of nucleases and proteases.
Application
- polymerase chain reaction (PCR)
- amplification of cDNA libraries
- DNA sequencing
- column-loading buffers for poly(A)+ RNA selection
- buffers for the transformation of competent E. coli
- transfection protocols.
Dimethyl sulfoxide has been used-
- as an oligonucleotide solvent in array spotting[1]
- as a solvent during miRNA microarray analysis and quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR)
- for cell lysis during MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay
- for the preparation of the stock solution during MMP (mitochondrial membrane potential)cytofluorimetric assessment
- in the storage of human and animal cell lines and bacteriophage λ as a cryoprotective agent.

How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
Aldrich Products
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
Not Finding What You Are Looking For?
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
