Attempts to prepare chromatographic column packing materials from cellulose have been surveyed and classified in terms of the methods of dissolution and particle formation. Gel filtration tests of the commercial and the laboratory-made cellulose packings proved their utility as the substitutes for the conventional gel materials such as crosslinked dextran or agarose gels. They are also useful in partition, adsorption and affinity chromatographies or as the substrate for enzyme immobilization because of their mechanical and chemical stability, high porosity and abundance of accessible hydroxyl groups.
