Application
DMSO is a polar aprotic solvent used in chemical reactions,
in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and as a cryoprotectant vitrification agent
for the preservation of cells, tissues and organs. DMSO is used in cell
freezing media to protect cells from ice crystal induced mechanical injury. It
is used for frozen storage of primary, sub-cultured, and recombinant
heteroploid and hybridoma cell lines; embryonic stem cells (ESC), and
hematopoietic stem cells. DMSO is frequently used in the combinations with BSA
or fetal bovine serum (FBS).
