Safety & Regulatory
For Research Use Only (RUO). Not for therapeutic, diagnostic, or clinical use. Wear appropriate PPE and consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) prior to handling.
Sonication time depends on compound solubility and concentration. In most cases, 1–3 minutes of intermittent bath sonication is sufficient to dissolve small molecule compounds in DMSO. For poorly soluble compounds, warming the solvent to 37–50 °C combined with brief vortexing between sonication pulses can improve dissolution. If the compound remains undissolved, prepare a more dilute stock solution.
Determining the amount based on solution clarity.1. If the prepared solution is clear, it can be prepared in a larger amount for one-time use and stored at 4°C. It is recommended to prepare the solution once a week, as prolonged storage may lead to loss of efficacy. 2. If the prepared solution is a suspension, it is recommended to prepare and use immediately each time.
