Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 27x80mm ID x Height, 1.5mm Wall, 120°C Max, Nonsterile, 25/pk SKU: LE-CT5-009

Featuring high-purity alpha-cellulose construction delivering exceptional mechanical strength and solvent compatibility for Soxhlet extraction applications. Manufactured from high-quality alpha cellulose cotton linter for high-performance use in automated Soxhlet extractor systems, these 27 × 80mm (ID × Height) thimbles provide reliable sample containment while maintaining consistent 1.5mm wall thickness for optimal extraction efficiency. Designed for standard Soxhlet extractions at temperatures below 120°C, this hydrophilic cellulose matrix ensures complete solvent penetration and maximum analyte recovery across diverse analytical protocols.

Key Cellulose Membrane Characteristics

• High-grade alpha cellulose construction with seamless noble cellulose and cotton linters without binding elements eliminates contamination interference
• High purity material composition delivers reliable and reproducible analytical results for critical determinations
• Consistently high porosity ensures fast flow-through while maintaining superior particulate retention during extraction cycles
• Hydrophilic surface chemistry maximizes solvent wetting and penetration for complete sample extraction efficiency
• Excellent mechanical strength and retention characteristics withstand repeated solvent cycling without degradation

Key Construction Characteristics

• Precision 27mm inner diameter × 80mm height dimensions accommodate standard 60mL Soxhlet apparatus configurations
• Maximum operating temperature of 120°C enables processing of most organic solvents without thermal damage
• Consistent 1.5mm wall thickness provides structural integrity while optimizing heat transfer during reflux operations
• Uniform wall construction performs satisfactorily in applications requiring single or double wall thickness specifications
• Seamless construction prevents sample loss and contamination during extended extraction protocols

LE-CT5-009 thimbles achieve outstanding chemical compatibility with petroleum ethers, hexane, methanol, and other standard extraction solvents, accelerating your analytical workflows for fat content determination in foods, pesticide residue analysis, and oil and grease evaluation in solid wastes. Nonsterile packaging in convenient 25-count quantities maximizes cost-effectiveness for routine laboratory operations. Soxhlet extraction provides a safe method of extraction with toxic and other noxious solvents, making these thimbles essential consumables for environmental analysis, food testing, and pharmaceutical research requiring validated solid-liquid extraction methodologies.
