Application

Faster development times than Type 20 (1-4 hours) with a little loss of resolution. May yield a colored background.
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.

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.

Doppler ultrasound flow measurement techniques are often validated using phantoms that simulate the vasculature, surrounding tissue and blood. Many researchers use rubber tubing to mimic blood vessels because of the realistic acoustic impedance, robust physical properties and wide range of

(1) Background: It is known that sickle cells contain a higher amount of Ca2+ compared to healthy red blood cells (RBCs). The increased Ca2+ is associated with the most severe symptom of sickle cell disease (SCD), the vaso-occlusive crisis (VOC).
