Our Services

Methods for determination of lignin and polysaccharide composition, including:

• Cellulose determination

• Monosaccharide and uronic acid analysis

• Linkage analysis of isolated pectins and hemicelluloses by GC-MS

• Oligosaccharide analysis of polysaccharide subunit structures by high-performance anion-exchange LC and electrospray ionization MS

• Lignin subunit composition by GC-MS

• Ash determination and inorganics distribution

• Particle size-distribution analysis for comminution potential

• Saccharification yields by enzymatic and chemical treatments

Services may be provided in two ways:

1. Contract for on-site training of staff

2. Delivery of data through contract with a Department of Energy National Laboratory
