Cellulose 400 – Microcrystalline Cellulose AVICEL^© Coating

Cellulose 400 TLC Plates are coated with microcrystalline cellulose AVICEL^®, prepared by hydrolysis of high purity cellulose with hydrochloric acid.

Depending on the starting cellulose and the following clean-up, you can obtain cellulose crystallites with a mean degree of polymerization between 40 and 200.

The cellulose microcrystalline structure can be confirmed by X-ray investigations. The following compounds could be successfully separated:

• Carboxylic acids
• Lower alchohols
• Urea and purine derivatives
