differential refractive index (DRI) detectors, or light-scattering (LS)/DRI<br />

detectors.<br />

As for all analytical techniques, the validity <strong>of</strong> the results obtained by SEC<br />

depends on all steps from sampling to evaluation. It is thus <strong>of</strong> importance to report<br />

carefully about the applied method, chromatographic conditions, <strong>and</strong> calibration<br />

method together with the SEC characterization <strong>of</strong> the actual cellulose sample. To<br />

facilitate comparison <strong>of</strong> different SEC methods, an interlaboratory evaluation <strong>of</strong><br />

different cellulose samples should be valuable. This would provide guidelines for a<br />

suitable approach for future research <strong>and</strong> characterization <strong>of</strong> cellulose <strong>and</strong><br />

cellulose derivatives by SEC.<br />
