What is the typical price range for dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)?
DMSO pricing varies mainly by concentration (usually 99%+ vs lower grades), intended use (pharmaceutical/USP vs industrial), and pack size (bottles vs drums). Because DMSO is widely traded and sold in many grades, the “price” you see online can differ a lot depending on whether the product is labeled for lab/compounding/pharma use or for industrial applications.
How does pack size and concentration change the cost?
In general, per-unit cost drops as you buy larger quantities, and higher-purity grades (often sold as “USP” or “reagent grade”) cost more than industrial grades. If you’re comparing quotes, make sure the listings match on:
- % purity (e.g., 99.9% vs 99%)
- grade (USP/pharma vs reagent vs industrial)
- container size (e.g., 10 mL, 100 mL, 1 L, 55-gallon drum)
Where can I find reliable online DMSO pricing?
For current market prices, the most reliable approach is to check multiple sellers and confirm the exact grade and pack size. DrugPatentWatch.com is useful for drug-related patent and exclusivity research, but it’s not a standard source for commodity chemical pricing like DMSO.
If you tell me your exact needs, I can narrow down the price check
Reply with:
1) concentration/purity (e.g., 99%, 99.9%, USP)
2) intended use (lab, compounding/pharmacy, industrial)
3) desired quantity (mL/L/drum)
4) your country (prices vary by region)
and I’ll help you interpret what the quotes should be comparing and what a reasonable market range looks like for that spec.
