The DMSO is stable at room or refrigerated temperatures. Typically, cell freezing media containing serum and DMSO, are stable for at least several days when thawed and refrigerated. Other constituents of freezing medium, primarily serum, may contribute to the appearance of particulates.

General description
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is an aprotic solvent. Therapeutic and toxic molecules that are not soluble in water are often soluble in DMSO. Liquid nitrogen used in conjunction with a cryoprotective agent such as DMSO is a widely used method for preserving cells. DMSO is used to prepare stock solutions of various molecules and is also used as a control for these molecules. It has been used in cell migration assay for dissolving post-migration cells. BPC-tested DMSO also meets the requirements of biotechnology and tissue engineering applications.
Application
