Dimethyl sulfoxide ,DMSO , 1liter

Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a clear, colorless liquid with a slight odor. It is also known as methanesulfinylmethane or methyl sulfoxide. DMSO is a polar aprotic solvent that is miscible with water and most organic solvents.

DMSO is used in a variety of applications, including:

• Solvent for pharmaceutical and chemical synthesis
• Extracting chemicals from plants and tissues
• In the manufacture of plastics and pharmaceuticals
• As a cryoprotectant to protect cells and tissues from freezing damage
• As a topical analgesic to relieve pain and inflammation
• As a carrier for drugs to improve their absorption

It is a relatively safe chemical, but it can be harmful if ingested or absorbed through the skin. It can also cause skin irritation and burns.

Here are some safety precautions to take when working with DMSO:

• Wear gloves, eye protection, and a lab coat when working with DMSO.
• Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
• If contact with skin or eyes occurs, flush with water for at least 15 minutes.
• Do not ingest DMSO.
• Keep DMSO away from heat and flames.
• Store DMSO in a cool, dark place.

If you have any questions about the safety of DMSO, you should consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). The MSDS can be found on the manufacturer’s website or from a local chemical supplier.
