Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 28x120mm ID, High-Purity Alpha Cellulose, 1.5mm Wall, 25/pk SKU: LE-CT5-014

Featuring high-purity alpha cellulose construction delivering exceptional chemical resistance and mechanical strength for comprehensive Soxhlet extraction applications. Manufactured from high-quality alpha cellulose cotton linter without binding elements, these thimbles provide superior sample retention and solvent flow characteristics essential for accurate fat analysis, environmental monitoring, and pharmaceutical extraction protocols. Maximum operating temperature of 120°C ensures thermal stability during extended extraction cycles while maintaining dimensional integrity throughout the process.

Key Alpha Cellulose Membrane Characteristics

• High-purity alpha cellulose construction eliminates binding agents and reduces contamination interference during critical analytical procedures
• Consistent 1.5mm wall thickness delivers optimal balance between mechanical strength and efficient solvent penetration
• Consistently high porosity ensures fast flow through while maintaining excellent particulate retention for complete sample recovery
• Hydrophilic surface chemistry accelerates solvent wetting and promotes uniform extraction of lipids, oils, and organic compounds
• Thermal stability to 120°C withstands prolonged heating cycles without degradation or dimensional change affecting extraction efficiency

Key Construction Characteristics

• 28mm internal diameter x 120mm height accommodates standard sample volumes while fitting most commercial Soxhlet extraction apparatus
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and facilitates complete extraction during automated and manual protocols
• Seamless cellulose construction eliminates weak points that could compromise sample containment during vigorous reflux conditions
• Chemical compatibility with petroleum ether, hexane, and other organic solvents maintains extraction integrity across diverse analytical methods
• Nonsterile designation allows immediate use in routine analytical workflows without additional preparation steps

LE-CT5-014 thimbles achieve reliable performance across AOAC, FDA, USDA, and EPA approved Soxhlet extraction methods, delivering validated results for your food analysis, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical development applications. Designed for applications including analysis of pesticide residues, determination of oil/fat content of foods, and analysis of oil and grease in solid wastes, these thimbles transform your extraction workflows into precise analytical protocols. Comprehensive compatibility with automated extraction systems and manual Soxhlet apparatus maximizes your analytical flexibility when conducting routine quality control and research-grade determinations requiring both chemical purity and proven extraction performance.
