Cellulose Derivatives: The Effect of Molecular Weight and Structure on Performance
A variety of aqueous (water-soluble) cellulose derivatives were characterized using the OMNISEC triple detection GPC/SEC system which revealed subtle, yet distinct differences between them. The differences described in this application note could be used in the pharmaceutical industry to correlate their molecular properties with performance.

Investigating the Protective Effects of Frankincense Oil on Wound Healing with GC–MS
April 2nd 2025Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. A recent study investigated the protective effects of the oil in an excision wound model in rats, focusing on oxidative stress reduction, inflammatory cytokine modulation, and caspase-3 regulation; chemical composition of the oil was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
