Cellulose Extraction Thimbles, 20 x 80 mm, Nonsterile, 25/Pk
GVS SKU: ET20080CC0Q00

Featuring high-alpha cellulose cotton linters formed into a cylindrical body with a rounded bottom, these extraction thimbles deliver dependable solid-liquid extraction in Soxhlet and similar extractor systems. The 20 mm inner diameter by 80 mm height format holds solid and semi-solid samples while solvent percolates through the hydrophilic cellulose wall, and the medium withstands operating temperatures up to 120C. Supplied nonsterile in packs of 25.

Key Cellulose Media Characteristics

• Constructed from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for reliable retention and reproducible analytical results
• Naturally hydrophilic medium that promotes solvent percolation through the thimble wall
• Cylindrical body with a rounded bottom designed to fit common Soxhlet-type extractors
• Withstands operating temperatures up to 120C for routine extraction procedures
• Provides mechanical strength to contain solid and semi-solid samples throughout repeated extraction cycles

Key Construction Characteristics

• Cellulose construction measuring 20 mm inner diameter by 80 mm height
• Rounded-bottom cylindrical format for seating in Soxhlet extraction chambers
• Supplied nonsterile, 25 thimbles per pack

These thimbles maintain sample integrity throughout solvent extraction, keeping solids contained while permitting consistent solvent flow. The high-purity cellulose medium supports reproducible recovery across a range of extraction studies. Each thimble provides a convenient, single-use sample reservoir for quality control, research, and analytical workflows.
