Featuring a high-alpha cellulose cotton linter construction with a cylindrical body and rounded bottom, these single-thickness extraction thimbles hold solid and semi-solid samples for solvent extraction in Soxhlet, Tecator, and similar systems. Each thimble measures 22mm inner diameter by 80mm height, providing reliable mechanical strength and consistent retention for reproducible analytical results. The hydrophilic cellulose medium is suitable for operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Manufactured from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for high purity and reproducible analytical results.
- Hydrophilic medium that wets readily with common extraction solvents.
- Delivers excellent mechanical strength and reliable particle retention during repeated solvent cycling.
- Rated for operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C.
- Free of binders, supporting clean baseline measurements for gravimetric and analytical work.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical format with a rounded bottom to seat securely in the extractor body.
- Single (standard) thickness wall for general-purpose extraction.
- Inner diameter of 22mm and height of 80mm to fit most Soxhlet and Tecator type units.
- Nonsterile, supplied 25 per pack.
These thimbles provide a safe, convenient, and efficient method for solvent extraction of fats, oils, waxes, and pesticides from solid materials. The high purity of the cellulose medium maintains sample integrity and supports consistent, reproducible results across repeated extraction runs.
