Featuring a binderless high-alpha cellulose cotton linter medium, these cylindrical extraction thimbles measure 35mm inner diameter by 150mm height and are built with a rounded bottom for reliable solid-liquid extraction. The hydrophilic cellulose construction promotes efficient solvent wetting and circulation, making the thimbles well suited to Soxhlet-type extractions of fats, oils, and organic residues from solid and semi-solid samples. They withstand operating temperatures up to 120C and ship nonsterile in convenient packs of 25.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Constructed from high-alpha cellulose cotton linters for excellent mechanical strength and consistent particle retention.
- Binderless manufacture minimizes extractable background that could interfere with gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
- Hydrophilic surface chemistry promotes rapid solvent wetting and uniform flow through the thimble wall.
- High-purity cellulose composition supports reproducible, unadulterated analytical results across extraction runs.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical body with a rounded bottom that securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid samples.
- 35mm inner diameter by 150mm height format sized for standard Soxhlet thimble holders.
- Rated for operating temperatures up to 120C, accommodating common organic solvent systems.
- Nonsterile, supplied 25 per pack for routine laboratory use.
The uniform cellulose wall maintains consistent solvent flow distribution to support efficient analyte recovery in every extraction cycle. Low extractable background preserves sample integrity, helping deliver defensible results for analytical extraction methods.
