In my experience DMSO does NOT freeze when diluted significantly. No, I

50%..=20 DMSO is hygroscopic; if left uncovered it will often attract
enough=20 moisture from the atmosphere to refuse to freeze at 67=BAF.
Someone on the DMSO list said that filtering with 2-micron filters helps

didn't=20 notice much difference after I'd used 5 coffee filters.
