Our seasoned peptide chemist Dr. Elizabeth Denton has tried it all when it comes to peptides. In this short video she shows that using DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) in a peptide synthesis workflow is perfectly fine together with the [Biotage® V-10 Touch evaporator](https://www.biotage.com/biotage-v-10-touch-product-overview). Watch her evaporate it in just over eight minutes.

"Every now and then I run into one of those peptides that just won't dissolve. And there's that one solvent everyone wants to avoid."
