Cellulose Extraction Thimbles, 30 x 80 mm, Nonsterile, 25/Pk
GVS SKU: ET30080CC0Q00

Featuring a high-alpha cellulose cotton linter medium with a seamless, rounded-bottom cylindrical structure, these extraction thimbles measure 30 mm inner diameter by 80 mm in height and securely hold solid and semi-solid samples during solvent extraction. The hydrophilic cellulose wall promotes efficient solvent contact and cycling, while the binderless construction keeps extractable background low for accurate analytical work. Each thimble is rated for operating temperatures up to 120C and ships nonsterile in packs of 25.

Key Cellulose Media Characteristics

• Constructed from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for excellent mechanical strength and reliable particle retention.
• Binderless manufacturing minimizes extractable residues that could interfere with gravimetric or chromatographic determinations.
• Naturally hydrophilic wall promotes uniform wetting and efficient solvent contact throughout the extraction cycle.
• Seamless, rounded-bottom cylindrical form contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid samples without secondary containment.
• Compatible with solvents suited to cellulose fiber for routine solid-liquid extraction protocols.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Dimensions: 30 mm inner diameter by 80 mm height, sized to fit most standard Soxhlet extraction units.
• Material: high-alpha cellulose cotton linter with a rounded-bottom cylindrical profile.
• Maximum operating temperature: 120C.
• Sterility: nonsterile, supplied 25 per pack.

These thimbles deliver consistent, reproducible extraction performance across production lots, helping laboratories maintain analytical accuracy from run to run. The low extractable background and uniform wall structure preserve sample integrity, supporting dependable results in routine fat, oil, and residue analyses.
