Dimethyl sulfoxide has been used:

• for the dissolution of tetramethylrhodamine dye, which is used as fluorophore for fluorescence in- situ hybridization (FISH) experiments
• as a control in indirect immunofluorescent assay (IFA) of swine testicular (ST) cells
• for the suspension and separation of buccal cells
• a polar aprotic solvent used in polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and as a cryoprotectant vitrification agent for the preservation of cells, tissues and organs.
