I will use it in whole blood culture. What is the concentration so that it does not affect the cells?

Should I perform a cell viability test?

They are apolar lipids

Cell can be viable upto 7-10% DMSO concentration. But incase of solubilize lipid you can use 100% DMSO and after solubilization you can dilute it to 7-10% dmso by dilution.
