Cellulose Content

​

Cellulose content is highly correlated with pulp yield and so is complimentary to the pulp yield assessment.  FQ offers access to an NIR calibration based on over 1800 samples covering a range of eucalypt species (predominantly E. globulus and nitens) for which laboratory cellulose contents have been assessed using the diglyme method.
