Application

High purity cellulose powders for partition chromatography.
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.

Preparation Note

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.

Digestive juice from the herbivorous gecarcinid land crabs Gecarcoidea natalis and Discoplax hirtipes exhibited total cellulase activity and activities of two cellulase enzymes; endo-beta-1,4-glucanase and beta-1,4-glucosidase. These enzymes hydrolysed native cellulose to glucose. The digestive juice of both species also
