Application

Cellulose, a polysaccharide composed of long chains of β(1,4) linked D-glucose units, is used in a wide range of applications that require a carbohydrate structural back-bone such microfibrils, biofilms, and biodegradable composites.[1] It may be used for the preparation of chromatographic structural media, in electrophoresis gels and ionic separations and as a substrate to identify and study cellulosic enzymes such as endoglucanases and β-glucosidase(s) involved with cellulosic systems. Cellulose may be used in saccharification and ethanol fermentation research.[2]

As a heterogeneous process, enzymatic hydrolysis depends on the contact area between enzymes and the cellulose substrate. The surface area of a substrate is typically evaluated through the sorption of gases (nitrogen, argon, or water vapor) or sorption of high-molecular-weight

Questions

1–4 of 4 Questions  

  1. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
      For more information, please refer to the Product Dating Information document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/418/501/product-dating-information-06-25-mk.pdf

  2. What is the particle size for this a-cellulose?

    1 answer

    1. This product is fibrous cellulose with an average particle length of 300 nm. Approximately 95% of the material is >100 mesh, or 249 um. This information is lot specific and reported in the product Certificate of Analysis. Please see the link below to review a sample or lot specific certificate:

  3. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
