Methyl cellulose is a nonionic cellulose ether with unique thermogelling properties and no toxicity[1]. Methyl cellulose is a synthetic, water-soluble polymer composed of many linked glucose molecules used as a stabilizer, thickener and emulsifier in food and cosmetics[2]. Methyl cellulose can be used to prepare semisolid matrices as cell culture gels for culturing colony-forming cells[3, 4]. Methyl cellulose can be used as a glycerol substitute in cryopreservation media and together with culture supplements to enhance the proliferation and differentiation of multilineage or monolineage committed hematopoietic progenitor cells[5]. It is difficult to prepare a solution of Methyl cellulose in cold water; when the powder comes into contact with water, it forms a gel layer around it, which helps to accelerate dissolution under heated stirring conditions[6].

| General tips | Please select the appropriate solvent to prepare the stock solution according to the
solubility of the product in different solvents; once the solution is prepared, please store it in
separate packages to avoid product failure caused by repeated freezing and thawing.Storage method
and period of the stock solution: When stored at -80°C, please use it within 6 months; when stored
at -20°C, please use it within 1 month. To increase solubility, heat the tube to 37°C and then oscillate in an ultrasonic bath for some time. |

Step 1: Enter information below (Recommended: An additional animal making an allowance for loss during the experiment)
Step 2: Enter the in vivo formulation (This is only the calculator, not formulation. Please contact us first if there is no in vivo formulation at the solubility Section.)
Calculation results:
Working concentration: mg/ml;
Method for preparing DMSO master liquid: mg drug pre-dissolved in μL DMSO ( Master liquid concentration mg/mL, Please contact us first if the concentration exceeds the DMSO solubility of the batch of drug. )
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next addμL PEG300, mix and clarify, next addμL Tween 80, mix and clarify, next add μL saline, mix and clarify.
Method for preparing in vivo formulation: Take μL DMSO master liquid, next add μL Corn oil, mix and clarify.
Note: 1. Please make sure the liquid is clear before adding the next solvent.
2. Be sure to add the solvent(s) in order. You must ensure that the solution obtained, in the previous addition, is a clear solution before proceeding to add the next solvent. Physical methods such as vortex, ultrasound or hot water bath can be used to aid dissolving.
3. All of the above co-solvents are available for purchase on the GlpBio website.
