Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a high-purity, polar aprotic solvent widely used as a diluent, extraction medium, and sample solvent in gas chromatography (GC) and analytical applications.
🏭⚗️ Production
DMSO is produced via controlled oxidation of dimethyl sulfide under high-purity conditions. The solvent is purified to remove water and residual impurities and then packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant containers to preserve chemical stability and ensure consistent performance in sensitive analytical procedures.
🔬 Properties
DMSO is a clear, colorless liquid with a high boiling point and low volatility. It is highly polar, miscible with water and many organic solvents, and chemically stable under normal laboratory conditions. DMSO dissolves a wide range of polar and non-polar compounds, making it suitable for sample preparation, dissolution of analytes, and GC injection.
🧪 Applications
DMSO is used to dissolve polar and thermally labile compounds for GC analysis. It serves as a sample diluent, extraction solvent, and medium for preparing standard solutions. Its ability to dissolve a wide variety of substances allows for accurate and reproducible chromatographic results, especially for compounds that are poorly soluble in less polar solvents.
⚠️ Safety
DMSO can penetrate the skin and carry dissolved chemicals into the body. It is generally low in flammability but should be handled with gloves, protective eyewear, and lab coats in a well-ventilated fume hood. Containers should be stored tightly sealed, away from heat and strong oxidizers. Waste must be disposed of according to laboratory hazardous chemical regulations.
