My compounds need to be dissolved in DMSO (my final DMSO concentration is 0.5%). Can I use system water to make dilutions then used for behavioural analysis in 5 dpf larval zebrafish? When I use E3 I can't get higher concentrations because the compounds precipitate. The second thing is that when I mix DMSO with E3, the solution is getting warmer (clearly perceptible in hand). So there must be some chemical reaction. My results for the control group (0.5% DMSO in E3) are just random as .... :(
Thanks in advance!
