| CM-cellulose | <chemical> Polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose. It is used as an emulsifier, thickener, suspending agent, etc., in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals; in research as a culture medium; in chromatography as a stabiliser for reagents; and therapeutically as a bulk laxative with antacid properties. Pharmacological action: cathartic, pharmaceutic aid. Chemical name: Cellulose, carboxymethyl ether, sodium salt (12 Dec 1998) |

| sodium carboxymethyl cellulose | The sodium salt of a polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose; used as a laxative. (05 Mar 2000) |
| deae-cellulose | <chemical> Diethylaminoethylcellulose. Cellulose derivative used in chromatography, as ion-exchange material, and for various industrial applications. Chemical name: Cellulose, 2-(diethylamino)ethyl ether (12 Dec 1998) |
| O-diethylaminoethyl cellulose | Cellulose to which diethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in anion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: DEAE-cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose | Cellulose to which triethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in ion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| oxidised cellulose | <surgery> Cellulosic acid in the form of an absorbable gauze which is used as a haemostatic in operations where ligation is not feasible (capillary or venous bleeding from small vessels) because cellulosic acid has a pronounced affinity for haemoglobin and produces an artificial clot. It is a sterile absorbable substance prepared by the oxidation of cotton containing not less than 16% and not more than 22% of carboxyl. See: oxycellulose. (22 Sep 2002) |
| TEAE-cellulose | Cellulose to which triethylaminoethyl groups have been attached; used in ion-exchange chromatography. Synonym: O-(triethylaminoethyl) cellulose. (05 Mar 2000) |
| electrophoresis, cellulose acetate | Electrophoresis in which cellulose acetate is the diffusion medium. (12 Dec 1998) |
