Description

Application

Makes extremely durable layers. Sharp separations for amino acids, sugars and other hydrophilic substances. Development time as short as 2 hours for 8′′ plates.

Sigmacell cellulose is used in thin layer chromatography (TLC) and cellulose TLC adsorbents. Sigmacell cellulose has been used in studies to inform industrial applications for large-scale purification of enzymes as well as to investigate the cellulase system of Penicillium echinulatum, which has been identified as a potential cellulase producer for bioconversion processes.

High purity cellulose powders for partition chromatography.

Packaging

50, 100, 500 g in poly bottle

1 kg in poly bottle

Reconstitution

For TLC, simply blend a 15-20% aqueous slurry for about one minute and coat plates; dry at room temperature. Usually does not require activation before use.
