The problem with most of the solvents that I knew is damaging cell structure,These Solvent damage the lipids of the cell wall and it cause cell disruption which in this case is not favorable as we need undamaged cell structure to measure dry weight
Sulfur and Biomass are mixed when I want to measure sulfur I separate biomass by the help of a solvent which is suitable for sulfur but I can not do the same for biomass because most of the solvent damages cell construction
Yes You are right I don't need to recover them after measurement.When I measure Sulfur I do not have any problems because I use Acetone as the solvent and it damages the cell structure but in this case It's not important but When I want to measure the exact dry weight I need to get rid of Sulfur because I do not Want it to be measured in the final weight.The problem Is not solved by dividing the sample into two parts.I look for a way to separate sulfur without damaging the cell so that the cell weight could be measured precisely.
