Featuring a 100% pure borosilicate glass microfiber medium, these binder-free extraction thimbles deliver dependable performance for Soxhlet and solvent-based extraction where cellulose is unsuitable. Measuring 43 mm inner diameter by 123 mm height with a cylindrical body and rounded bottom, each thimble provides a robust depth structure with high particulate retention and low flow resistance. Because no binders or additives are used in their construction, they withstand aggressive solvents and high-temperature conditions that would compromise cellulose media.
Key Glass Fiber Media Characteristics
- Manufactured from 100% pure borosilicate glass microfibers with no binders or additives.
- Naturally hydrophilic depth medium with a large surface area for outstanding impurity retention.
- Provides high particulate loading capacity combined with low filtration resistance.
- Suited to aggressive solvents that are incompatible with cellulose thimbles.
- Cylindrical format with a rounded bottom for consistent fit in extraction apparatus.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Dimensions of 43 mm inner diameter by 123 mm height.
