Featuring a high-alpha cellulose cotton linter construction with a seamless cylindrical body and rounded bottom, these extraction thimbles provide a reliable sample vessel for Soxhlet, Tecator, and similar solid-liquid extraction systems. Each thimble measures 30mm inner diameter by 100mm height and is supplied nonsterile in a pack of 25. The naturally hydrophilic cellulose medium promotes efficient solvent percolation while securely containing solid and semi-solid samples throughout extended extraction cycles, and the material is rated for operating temperatures up to 120C.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Manufactured from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for high purity and consistent extraction performance.
- Naturally hydrophilic surface promotes uniform solvent wetting and percolation through the sample bed.
- Provides reliable particle retention and mechanical strength during prolonged solvent contact.
- Rated for operating temperatures up to 120C, accommodating common organic solvent systems.
- Suited to routine extractions with cellulose-compatible solvents.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Seamless cylindrical body with a rounded bottom for secure sample containment.
- Standard 30mm inner diameter by 100mm height for compatibility with most Soxhlet and Tecator extractor configurations.
- Supplied nonsterile in a pack of 25 thimbles.
The uniform cellulose structure maintains consistent solvent flow across the thimble wall, supporting reproducible extraction efficiency cycle after cycle. Reliable mechanical strength and dependable retention help preserve sample integrity, so your gravimetric and chromatographic results reflect true sample composition.
