Avg. Ratings: 0.0 out of 5
Dimethyl sulfoxide is a dipolar, aprotic solvent. Has been shown to accelerate strand renaturation (1-10% concentration) and is believed to give the nucleic acid thermal stability against depurination. By heating the solid form to approximately 30 °C, the product can be melted without harming it's stability.
