Application
Dimethyl sulfoxide has been used:
- for the dissolution of tetramethylrhodamine dye, which is used as fluorophore for fluorescence in- situ hybridization (FISH) experiments[1]
- as a control in indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) of swine testicular (ST) cells[2]
- for the suspension and separation of buccal cells[3]
- a polar aprotic solvent used in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and as a cryoprotectant vitrification agent for the preservation of cells, tissues and organs.
