Labbox dimethyl sulphoxide HPLC, GGR
This laboratory chemical in HPLC quality is specially designed for users who want to achieve highly precise and reproducible results. The solvent is characterised by its exceptional purity, which makes it the first choice for professional environments such as pharmaceutical research, chemical analysis and biotechnological laboratories. Compared to conventional DMSO, it also scores with consistently high quality, so users can rely on consistently reliable performance.
Versatile properties and areas of application
Dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) is one of the most versatile organic solvents for analytical methods. Whether for the quantitative determination of active ingredients or sample preparation for complex applications - its distinct solubility and stability provide an excellent basis for a wide range of laboratory processes. As it is specifically designed for chromatographic purposes, it is particularly suitable for HPLC analyses where maximum purity and sensitivity are required.
The HPLC unit prevents interfering background signals in sensitive detector systems so that measurements can be carried out without unnecessary interference. This property is particularly important in pharmaceutical research, where accuracy and comparability of results are essential. Due to its cell compatibility, DMSO is also used in biotechnological fields, for example in the cryopreservation of cell cultures or in the solubilisation of sensitive proteins. Laboratories benefit from a reliable substance that can be easily integrated into existing validation processes thanks to its defined specifications.

- Pharmaceutical drug research: DMSO can be used to dissolve many active pharmaceutical ingredients in relevant concentrations in order to prepare them for test series.
- Cryopreservation in biotechnology: Its cell-protecting properties make it a popular cell preservative used in many laboratories for long-term storage.
These examples demonstrate the great practical benefits of high-quality DMSO. Whether in academic research laboratories or in industrial practice, it is the constant reliability that makes this solvent a crucial component of numerous work processes.
FAQs
What is this DMSO particularly suitable for?
It is specifically designed for HPLC applications, but thanks to its high purity and minimal interferences, it can also be used in other highly sensitive areas.
How should the solvent be stored?
Ideally, it should be stored unopened, cool and dry. This preserves the HPLC quality in the long term and prevents unwanted ageing effects.
Is caution required when diluting with other solvents?
Yes, compatibility with the solvents or buffer systems used should always be checked to ensure that no precipitation or chemical reactions occur.
What protective measures are recommended when handling
Lab-suitable protective clothing, wearing gloves and good ventilation are the minimum requirements. This ensures safe handling of organic solvents.
Can it be used at high temperatures?
DMSO can also be used in heating processes due to its thermal stability. However, compatibility with other chemicals and materials should always be considered.
