Pharmaceutical Grade DMSO 99.995% Pure Low Odor DMSO

We manufacture the finest Pharmaceutical grade of DMSO available in a CGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) facility. This grade of DMSO is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for drug delivery, analytical applications, and also as a solvent in pharmaceutical synthesis.

Glass or Plastic Packaging, whats the difference ? -

You will notice we package in glass and plastic containers. In the past if DMSO was packaged in plastic containers using BPA (Bis Phenol A) as a plasticizer it would easily leach into the DMSO and therefore be consumed or absorbed into skin.

Some customers prefer glass while others do not mind storage in plastic so long as its BPA free. Its a matter of choice, we have tested all the containers we use for packaging DMSO including glass to understand if there was anything toxic dissolving into the DMSO. The results where conclusive, we found absolutely no difference in composition between the glass and plastic container after storing for 6 months.

What exactly is DMSO ? -

Dimethyl Sulfoxide is a very nontoxic dipolar aprotic organic solvent that is a naturally occurring substance.DMSO is found in many food products from beer to milk! It has a very low acute toxicity for animals, plants and aquatic life. There are many innovative uses for DMSO currently being studied.

Exposure to DMSO -

Skin contact, the most likely exposure has been extensively studied with humans and animals with large dosages over extended period of times showing only minor effects such as skin irritation, itching and a burning sensation. There have been no long term detrimental effects observed from exposure to DMSO.  Should the DMSO feel warm apply water to efffected area.

Whats different about low Odor DMSO ? -

Its important to understand that pure Pharma grade DMSO has no real odor and the constituents that cause this are from dimethyl sulfide and also bismethylthiosulfate. When manufacturing on an industrial scale these components are not removed and have absolutely no effect on the performance properties of DMSO in what the FDA has approved for medicinal use as an example.

How to Store DMSO - 

DMSO should always be stored in a dry dark place for long term stability. DMSO is hygroscopic and therefore you should always keep it closed when not using. DMSO will slowly degrade over time when exposed to direct light. It is best stored somewhere cool, dry, and dark.

How long can DMSO be stored and used -

If DMSO is stored correctly it will be useful for no less than 2 years from date of purchase.

My DMSO arrived and its Solid/Frozen/Crystallized

If your DMSO arrives with crystals or has solidified there is no need to worry. This is completely normal and can be easly turned back into a liquid with no effect on the product. DMSO freezes at 65 Deg F.  It can be turned back into a liquid by allowing it to thaw out above this temp, however it will take some time. You can run warm water over the container if you want it to thaw quicker.

Some Characteristics of DMSO -

1. OSHA does not have a PEL (Permissible Exposure Level) for Dimethyl Sulfoxide.

2. DMSO is listed by the FDA as a substance that is permitted for direct addition to food for human consumption as a residual solvent     

3. DMSO Freezes at 65.6 Deg F

• Please Note DMSO is a very powerful solvent and will destroy many surfaces such as paint, leather furniture etc. Be careful not to get DMSO on these surfaces if you do not want them ruined.

• DMSO is a dense liquid and may appear not to be completely full in the container, however we sell the product by weight (not in volume) and you are guaranteed the exact amount you purchased.

• We make no claims on the use of this product as it is sold as solvent
