Thumbnail Filmstrip of Cellulose Extraction Thimbles, 26 x 60mm, Cylindrical Rounded Bottom, Nonsterile, 25/Pk Images
Featuring high-alpha cellulose cotton linter construction, these extraction thimbles deliver dependable mechanical strength and reliable retention for Soxhlet and other solid-liquid extraction workflows. Each thimble measures 26mm inner diameter by 60mm height and uses a cylindrical body with a rounded bottom that securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid samples. The naturally hydrophilic cellulose medium wets readily with common organic solvents and withstands operating temperatures up to 120C.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- High-alpha cellulose cotton linter composition provides high purity with low extractable background for accurate gravimetric and analytical determinations.
- Naturally hydrophilic structure wets readily and supports consistent solvent flow through the thimble wall.
- Excellent mechanical strength and retention withstands repeated solvent exposure and thermal cycling during extended extraction cycles.
- Depth-style cellulose wall captures particulate-laden samples while maintaining efficient solvent percolation.
- Temperature rating up to 120C accommodates a broad range of organic solvent systems used in Soxhlet extraction.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical body with a rounded bottom contains samples securely and promotes uniform solvent contact.
- 26mm inner diameter x 60mm height matches standard and automated Soxhlet extractor geometries.
- Nonsterile and supplied 25 thimbles per pack for routine, high-throughput laboratories.
These thimbles maintain consistent wall integrity and porosity from unit to unit, supporting reproducible extraction performance across samples. The high purity of the cellulose medium helps preserve sample integrity and protects the accuracy of downstream gravimetric and chromatographic measurements.
