General description
Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) contains both highly polar and apolar groups, which impart it an amphipathic character. It can dissolve in both aqueous and organic solvents. It is a commonly used solvent in hydrophobic pharmaceutical agents, exhibiting effective hydroxyl radical scavenging ability.[1][2]
This substance is listed on the positive list of the EU regulation 10/2011 for plastics intended to come into contact with food. Find all available reference materials for compounds listed in 10/2011 here
Application
DMSO may be used as an analytical standard for the determination of the analyte in environmental samples by gas chromatography (GC) technique.[3]
Refer to the product′s Certificate of Analysis for more information on a suitable instrument technique. Contact Technical Service for further support.
Dimethyl sulfoxide may be used as a molecular probe in the detection and analysis of hydroxyl radicals generated in advanced oxidation processes using high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).
