Application
Dimethyl sulfoxide has been used:for the dissolution of tetramethylrhodamine dye, which is used as fluorophore for fluorescence in- situ hybridization (FISH) experimentsas a control in indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) of swine testicular (ST) cellsfor the suspension and separation of buccal cellsa polar aprotic solvent used in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and as a cryoprotectant vitrification agent for the preservation of cells, tissues and organs.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a low molecular weight, less hydrophilic and a freely permeable cryoprotectant. It is a polar aprotic solvent used in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and as a cryoprotectant and vitrification agent for the preservation of cells, tissues and organs.
Caution
