How to Find a Lot/Batch Number for COA
Lot and Batch Numbers can be found on a product's label following the words 'Lot' or 'Batch'.
For a lot number such as TO09019TO, enter it as 09019TO (without the first two letters 'TO').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as 05427ES-021, enter it as 05427ES (without the filling-code '-021').
For a lot number with a filling-code such as STBB0728K9, enter it as STBB0728 without the filling-code 'K9'.
In some cases, a COA may not be available online. If your search was unable to find the COA you can request one.
The storage conditions that a Sigma-Aldrich catalog and label recommend for products are deliberately conservative. For many products, long-term storage at low temperatures will increase the time during which they are expected to remain in specification and therefore are labeled accordingly. Where short-term storage, shipping time frame, or exposure to conditions other than those recommended for long-term storage will not affect product quality, Sigma-Aldrich will ship at ambient temperature. The products sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than their recommended long-term storage are shipped on wet or dry ice. Ambient temperature shipping helps to control shipping costs for our customers. At any time, our customers can request wet- or dry-ice shipment, but the special handling is at customer expense if our product history indicates that the product is stable for regular shipment. See Shipping and Storage for more information.
DMSO will have a molarity of 14.1M, based on a density of 1.1 g/mL and a molecular weight of 78.13 g/mol.
DMSO is not dissolved in any solvent. It is a pure chemical compound that is a liquid at room temperature.
DMSO is known to have been isolated from tree bark in the past. It is now a commericially synthesized solvent.
DMSO has been used to oxidize thiols and disulfides to sulfonic acids, hydrolysis of epoxides, thioalkylation of phenols, and oxidation of primary alcohols and halides, and esters of primary alcohols to aldehydes.
If available for a given product, the recommended re-test date or the expiration date can be found on the Certificate of Analysis.
DMSO supercools easily, and re-melts slowly at room temperature. The melting point is 16-19 °C. The solidified product can be re-liquefied by warming to room temperature without detriment to the product.
The lot specific COA document can be found by entering the lot number above under the "Documents" section.

No, this product is not considered sterile. Product Nos. D2560 and D2438 are sterile-filtered.
Transportation information can be found in Section 14 of the product's (M)SDS.To access the shipping information for this material, use the link on the product detail page for the product.
This product is miscible in water (1 mL DMSO + 1 mL H2O), yielding a clear, colorless solution. DMSO is a very hygroscopic liquid and should protected from exposure to moisture. DMSO is also miscible with ethanol, acetone, ether, benzene, and chloroform.
DMSO is stable up to 100°C in alkaline, acidic and neutral conditions. At temperatures approaching its boiling point, DMSO is stable in neutral or alkaline conditions.
Yes. It is a molecular biology grade product, and it is tested for DNase, RNase and protease. For a lot to pass none of those enzymes may be detected.
Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) is a highly polar organic reagent that has exceptional solvent properties for organic and inorganic chemicals.
The compatibility of DMSO with various materials is listed here: Compatible: LDPE, HDPE, polypropylene, PPCO (polypropylene copolymer), polymethylpentene, nylon, PTFE (Teflon) and FEP. Moderately compatible: polystyrene, ECTFE/ETFE. Incompatible: polysulfone, flexible and rigid PVC tubing, polycarbonate.
The procedure to freeze cells is in the product information sheet (under Documents, above).
DMSO super cools easily and remelts slowly at room temperature. The product may arrive as a solid instead of a liquid. The solidified product can be reliquified by warming to room temperature without detriment to the product.

Transformation is the process by which exogenous DNA is introduced into a cell, resulting in a heritable change or genetic modification. This was first reported in Streptococcus pneumoniae by Griffith in 1928. Transforming principle of DNA was demonstrated by Avery et al. in 1944.
Whole transcriptome amplification (WTA) is a method often used to amplify small quantities of reverse transcribed RNA, or degraded RNA for direct use in Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) workflows. Discover our SeqPlex™-I WTA library preparation kit for producing libraries that are ready for direct input onto Illumina® NGS flow cells.
