Featuring a high-alpha cellulose cotton linter medium with a cylindrical body and rounded bottom, these extraction thimbles deliver reliable solid-liquid extraction for Soxhlet, Tecator, and similar apparatus. Each thimble measures 22 mm inner diameter by 60 mm height in a single-thickness wall format, and the binderless cotton linter construction provides excellent mechanical strength and retention with minimal background interference. The hydrophilic structure withstands continuous solvent percolation at operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C, holding powdered, granular, and semi-solid samples securely while target analytes are extracted into the solvent.
Key Glass Fiber Media Characteristics
- Constructed from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for high purity and low background extractables.
- Hydrophilic medium promotes efficient wetting and consistent solvent flow through the sample.
- Delivers excellent mechanical strength and reliable particle retention during repeated extraction cycles.
- Rounded, closed-bottom design contains solid and semi-solid samples without secondary containment.
- Withstands operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C across common organic solvent systems.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical single-thickness wall format sized at 22 mm inner diameter by 60 mm height.
- Rounded bottom for secure sample containment and uniform solvent contact.
- Nonsterile format suited to routine analytical laboratory workflows.
- Supplied 25 thimbles per pack.
These thimbles maintain consistent dimensions and fiber density to support reproducible extraction performance from run to run. The high-purity cellulose medium minimizes extractable residues that could compromise gravimetric or chromatographic measurements, helping preserve sample integrity. Precise fit within standard extraction apparatus promotes complete solvent cycling and efficient analyte recovery.
