Thumbnail Filmstrip of Cellulose Extraction Thimbles, Single Thickness, 28 x 100 mm, 10um Retention, 25/Pk Images
Featuring a high-alpha cellulose cotton linter medium, these single thickness extraction thimbles retain solid and semi-solid samples while permitting unrestricted solvent circulation throughout Soxhlet extraction cycles. The cylindrical body measures 28 mm inner diameter by 100 mm in height with a rounded, closed bottom, and carries an approximately 1 mm wall delivering 10 um nominal particle retention. The naturally hydrophilic cellulose construction withstands operating temperatures up to 120 degrees C and is supplied 25 pieces per pack.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- High-alpha cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical workflows.
- Naturally hydrophilic medium wets readily to promote efficient solvent permeation through the thimble wall.
- 10 um nominal particle retention contains fine powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample material throughout repeated extraction cycles.
- Single thickness wall (approximately 1 mm) balances permeability for solvent cycling with the structural integrity to retain the sample.
- Compatible with standard Soxhlet solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Cylindrical body with a rounded closed bottom securely contains samples without secondary containment.
- 28 mm inner diameter by 100 mm height fits most standard manual and automated Soxhlet extractor bodies.
- Maximum operating temperature of 120 degrees C supports routine solvent extraction conditions.
- Nonsterile and supplied 25 pieces per pack.
Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles. Mechanical durability through extended solvent contact keeps sample containment intact across multi-hour procedures, supporting the reproducible analyte recovery that standardized extraction methods require.
