What is the best solvent for Carbamazepine (AED) - DMSO or ethanol?

03 March 2013 1 6K Report

I want to use AED CBZ for my experiments and treat cells with this drug. I want to know what is the best solvent for it. I face some problems determining the right conc. of the drug.

Benjamin Clanner-Engelshofen

dichloromethane works good, from your two solvents I think DMSO will be better.
