The solubility of this product has been tested in chloroform at a concentration of 50 mg/mL. For cell culture application, it can be dissolved in fresh, anhydrous DMSO at 5 mg/mL (10.56 mM), but the final concentration of DMSO in cell culture should not exceed more than 0.1%. Most cells can tolerate up to 0.1% DMSO; however, the response may vary depending on the specific type of cell or cell line. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct preliminary testing to determine the optimal concentration for your particular application.
