Lignocellulose Quantitative Profiling Services
Unraveling the Mysteries of the Components in Lignocellulose with Ease and Precision
Lignocellulosic biomass composition analysis is important for lignocellulosic selection and conversion process research. Creative Biolabs provides highly reproducible, stable, and accurate biomass lignocellulose composition analysis services with detailed data and analytical reports to assist our clients in various types of research. Our analytical services apply to a wide range of sample types and applications such as Biomass conversion, biofuel production, and bioproduct development.
Lignocellulosic biomass contains a variety of components, including lignin, cellulose, hemicellulose, and others. It is necessary to combine multiple methods in the process of component analysis. We have optimized and validated the methods for the analysis of each component of lignocellulose. The validation results show good repeatability, stability, and accuracy of all methods.

Various techniques and instruments used for analysis
-
Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS): It is used for the analysis of lignin syringyl / O guaiacyl ratio, fatty acids, etc.
-
Infrared spectrophotometer: It is used for the analysis of different types of lignin, extractives, etc.
-
Elemental analyzer: It is used to detect nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen, and carbon content in samples.
-
Ion-exchange chromatography (ICE): It is used for the analysis of various monosaccharides, glucuronic acid, acetyl content, etc.
-
Biomass lignocellulose composition analysis process
-
Sample treatment
Samples are pre-treated with drying, grinding, extraction, hydrolysis, etc., according to the type of sample and the purpose of the test.
-
Composition analysis
-
Cellulose and hemicellulose analysis: Cellulose is a polymer composed of glucose. Hemicellulose is composed of more components, including xylose, galactose, galactose, glucuronic acid, etc. We test for lignocellulosic sugar, uronic acid, etc., in each sample.
-
Lignin analysis: We analyze different types of lignin content, protein-corrected Klason lignin, lignin S/G ratio, and so on.
-
In addition to cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, for further compositional identification, we also perform extractives analysis, major elements (nitrogen, sulfur, hydrogen, and carbon) analysis, starch content analysis, ash content, etc. The moisture content and acetyl content of lignocellulosic biomass are also a key parameter in the application process. We also test the moisture content in the samples.

Published data
Physicochemical characterization of lignocellulosic biomass is essential for its maximum utilization. In this study, the physicochemical properties of three lignocellulosic biomasses (Chromolaena odorata leaves, mango pulp, and cow dung) were examined, including compositional and calorimetric analyses. The results showed that there were differences in ash, fixed carbon, and calorific range in the three biomasses, but all of them were suitable for the development of energy substances for industrial use. This study provides a demonstration for lignocellulosic biomass compositional analysis and assessment of the utilization value of biomass.
