Questions

  1. Could DMSO be used as an alternative solvent?

    1 answer
    1. Yes, DMSO is a suitable solvent for this material. Stock solutions are typically prepared at 10 mM, however concentrations of up to 20 mg/mL have been achieved.
      Other solvents include Dimethylformamide, Chloroform, Acetonitrile, and Methanol. Stock solutions may be store in aliquots at -20 °C. Please see the link below to review additional information available in the product datasheet:
