Cellulose Acetate Analysis Service
Unlocking Excellence Through Cellulose Acetate (CA) Analysis
CA is a synthetic fiber made by reacting natural cellulose with acetic anhydride so that the hydroxyl group of cellulose is replaced by an acetyl group. CA is widely used in pharmaceutical excipients, primarily serving as a tablet coating, controlled release agent, filler, support agent, and film coating.
CD BioGlyco has been providing professional Pharmaceutical and Biological Analysis Services for many years, and our Pharmaceutical Excipient Analysis Services are highly regarded. The details of our CA analysis services are as follows.
- Chemical composition analysis: We help you analyze the chemical composition of CA samples and their content in drug formulations to ensure their stability and efficacy in drugs. The samples are analyzed by infrared spectroscopy (IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
- Physical property analysis: We help you evaluate the physical properties of CA, including particle size distribution, specific surface area, etc., to understand the impact on dispersion and stability, etc., in pharmaceutical formulations.
- Thermal property analysis: Our experts analyze the thermal properties of CA using thermal analysis techniques such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) to understand its stability during drug processing and storage.
- Solution characterization: We provide the solubility and rheology analysis of CA in different solvents to help you optimize solution handling and processing during drug formulation and preparation.

Results: This article explores the various uses of cellulose and its derivatives in pharmaceutical applications. These include their use as agents to mask taste, as bulking agents for compression, as core components in osmotic pumps, as coating materials for enteric soluble solid dosage forms, and as matrices for extended-release polymers. The authors note that CA is commonly employed in the pharmaceutical industry for controlled-release formulations such as osmosis control and enteric-coated drug delivery systems. These polymers are often combined with cellulose ethers to create microporous delivery membranes.
Applications
- CA is used as a raw material in the plastics industry, and analytical techniques can be used to evaluate the chemical composition, structure, and thermal properties of a plastic product to ensure that it meets requirements.
- In the textile industry, CA analysis technology can be used to detect the physical properties and chemical properties of the products during CA production and processing.
- CA is used in the biomedical field as medical fibers and biomaterials. The analytical techniques of CA can be used to evaluate the performance and applicability of CA in these biomedical materials.
Advantages
- We employ a range of analytical methods for assessment to facilitate a thorough comprehension of the chemical, structural, and thermal characteristics of CA.
- Many of our analytical techniques are non-destructive, enabling analysis to be conducted without compromising the integrity of samples.
- These analytical techniques apply to CA samples in different forms, including solids, liquids, and gases, and meet the analytical requirements of different experimental needs and sample types.
