Solubility: DMSO has a high solubility for a wide range of organic and inorganic compounds, making it an excellent solvent for diluting plant extracts that may contain a mixture of different compounds.

Stability: DMSO is a stable solvent that can withstand a wide range of temperatures and pH conditions. This makes it a reliable solvent for diluting plant extracts that may be unstable in other solvents.

Compatibility: DMSO is compatible with many assay systems and can be used for a variety of applications, such as cell culture and biochemical assays. This makes it a versatile solvent for researchers who want to perform multiple assays with the same sample.

Low toxicity: DMSO is considered to have low toxicity and is generally safe for use in biological systems. This makes it an attractive solvent for researchers who want to minimize the potential toxic effects of their solvent on cells or organisms.
