Abstract
We present details of a modified technique for the extraction of α-cellulose from wood samples. The revised technique, based upon the sodium chlorite oxidation method of Green (1963) utilises an ultrasonic bath and small Soxhlet thimbles to prepare α-cellulose from silvers of wholewood. These modifications facilitate the rapid batch processing of small wholewood samples to α-cellulose and yield a material with sufficient homogeneity as required for palaeoclimatic reconstruction.
