Featuring a high alpha cellulose cotton linter wall, these cylindrical extraction thimbles deliver the mechanical strength and reproducible retention required for Soxhlet and similar solid-liquid extraction workflows. Each thimble measures 19 mm inner diameter by 90 mm in height with a rounded, closed bottom that securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid samples. The naturally hydrophilic cellulose structure provides the permeability needed for efficient solvent circulation while withstanding operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Manufactured from high alpha cellulose cotton linters for excellent mechanical strength and consistent particulate retention.
- Naturally hydrophilic wall promotes efficient wetting and solvent circulation during each extraction cycle.
- Uniform fiber density throughout the wall helps prevent solvent channeling for complete sample contact.
- Suited to repeated solvent cycling in Soxhlet and comparable extractor systems.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical body with a rounded, closed bottom to retain fine and loose sample matrices.
- Dimensions of 19 mm inner diameter by 90 mm height for fit within standard extractor apparatus.
- Rated for use at temperatures up to 120 degrees C (248 degrees F).
- Supplied nonsterile in a pack of 25.
These thimbles maintain dimensional and structural integrity through repeated solvent exposure, supporting reliable analyte recovery run after run. Consistent wall construction helps preserve sample integrity and delivers the reproducible performance that standardized extraction methods require.
