CELLULOSE MICROCRYSTALLINE (for TLC) is a fine chemical product from the brand RESEARCH-LAB FINE CHEM INDUSTRIES. CAS Number: 9004-34-6 Quantity: 500 gm/Bottle Cellulose, a polysaccharide composed of long chains of (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. 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 -glucosidase(s) involved with cellulosic systems. Cellulose may be used in saccharification and ethanol fermentation research
