Overview of DSM502

DSM502 (Aladdin SKU: D656251) is a research-grade small-molecule compound catalogued under the cross-reference identifier MCE HY-132170. It is supplied by Aladdin Scientific exclusively for laboratory research purposes. As with all research reagents in Aladdin's portfolio, DSM502 is not intended for diagnostic, therapeutic, or any other clinical application in humans or animals.

Researchers seeking detailed physicochemical data such as molecular weight, molecular formula, purity specifications, and structural information should consult the product's Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and the official product page on the Aladdin Scientific website or contact technical support for the most current lot-specific data.

Storage and Stability Guidelines

Proper storage is essential to maintaining the integrity and activity of DSM502 throughout its shelf life. As a general best practice for small-molecule research compounds:

  • Temperature: Store according to the conditions specified on the product label and CoA. Many small molecules require storage at −20 °C or below to prevent degradation.
  • Moisture protection: Keep the container tightly sealed and store in a dry environment. Consider using desiccants to guard against moisture-induced hydrolysis.
  • Light sensitivity: Where photosensitivity is indicated, store in amber vials or wrapped in foil away from direct light sources.
  • Freeze-thaw cycles: Minimize repeated freeze-thaw cycles by preparing single-use aliquots upon initial reconstitution.

Note: Specific storage temperatures, recommended solvents, and shelf-life data for DSM502 should be confirmed on the product CoA. Flag for review if conditions differ from general guidelines.

Solubility and Reconstitution Protocol

Before use, researchers should determine the appropriate solvent system for DSM502. General guidance for reconstituting research-grade small molecules includes:

  1. Consult the CoA: The Certificate of Analysis will specify tested solvents (e.g., DMSO, ethanol, aqueous buffers) and approximate solubility values.
  2. Prepare stock solutions: Dissolve DSM502 in the recommended solvent to prepare a concentrated stock solution. Filter-sterilize if required for cell-based assays.
  3. Working dilutions: Dilute the stock solution in the appropriate experimental medium. Ensure the final concentration of organic solvent (e.g., DMSO) does not exceed levels tolerated by your biological system (typically ≤0.1% v/v for cell culture).
  4. Sonication: If the compound does not dissolve readily, brief sonication in a water bath at room temperature may aid dissolution. Avoid prolonged heating.

Specific solubility data for DSM502 should be verified on the product page or CoA prior to experimental use.

Safety and Handling Precautions

DSM502 is a research chemical and must be handled with appropriate laboratory safety precautions. The following general guidelines apply:

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear nitrile gloves, a laboratory coat, and safety glasses when handling DSM502. Use a fume hood if there is any risk of inhalation of powders or vapors.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS): Always consult the product SDS before use. The SDS provides hazard classification, first-aid measures, and disposal requirements specific to DSM502.
  • Waste disposal: Dispose of DSM502 and its solutions in accordance with local institutional and governmental regulations governing chemical waste.
  • Skin and eye contact: In the event of skin or eye contact, flush immediately with copious amounts of water and seek medical attention as directed by the SDS.

Researchers should obtain and review the current SDS for DSM502 (D656251) from Aladdin Scientific prior to experimental use.

Frequently asked questions

What is DSM502 and what is its catalog number at Aladdin Scientific?

DSM502 is a research-grade small-molecule compound available from Aladdin Scientific under SKU D656251. It is cross-referenced to MCE catalog number HY-132170 and is intended exclusively for in vitro research and investigational laboratory use.

How should DSM502 be stored to ensure maximum stability?

DSM502 should be stored under the conditions specified on its Certificate of Analysis (CoA) and product label. In general, small-molecule research compounds should be stored in a dry, light-protected environment at the recommended temperature (commonly −20 °C), in tightly sealed containers, with single-use aliquots prepared to minimize freeze-thaw cycles. Consult the product CoA for lot-specific storage requirements.

In which solvents can DSM502 be dissolved for experimental use?

Recommended solvents for DSM502 should be confirmed on the product CoA or Aladdin Scientific product page, as solubility profiles are compound-specific. Common solvents for small-molecule research compounds include DMSO, ethanol, or aqueous buffers. Ensure that the final concentration of any organic co-solvent is kept within levels compatible with the target biological system.

Is DSM502 suitable for clinical or therapeutic use?

No. DSM502 is strictly a research reagent and is not approved for, nor intended for, any diagnostic, therapeutic, or clinical application in humans or animals. It should only be used by trained personnel in qualified laboratory research settings.

How can I obtain the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for DSM502?

The Safety Data Sheet for DSM502 (D656251) can be obtained from the Aladdin Scientific website on the product page or by contacting Aladdin Scientific customer support directly. Always review the SDS before handling the compound for the first time.
