Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimbles, 33mm ID x 94mm H, 1.5mm Wall, High-Purity Hydrophilic, 25/Pk SKU: LE-CT5-022

Featuring high-purity cellulose fiber construction delivering exceptional mechanical strength and consistent 1.5mm wall thickness for reliable solid-liquid extraction applications. High purity cellulose fibers ensure maximum purity and minimal sample loss during extraction processes while providing excellent mechanical strength and retention. These thimbles withstand temperatures up to 120°C, making them suitable for demanding analytical protocols including pesticide residue analysis, oil and fat content determination, and environmental waste characterization.

Key Cellulose Membrane Characteristics

• Manufactured from high-quality alpha cellulose cotton linter for high-performance use in automated Soxhlet extractor systems
• Low extractable content reduces risk of sample contamination and ensures accurate analytical results
• Uniform 1.5mm wall thickness affords even extraction from solids while maintaining structural integrity throughout extended extraction cycles
• Hydrophilic surface chemistry optimizes solvent wetting and penetration for enhanced extraction efficiency
• Designed to fit most Soxhlet extraction units with standard 33mm inner diameter by 94mm height configuration

Key Construction Characteristics

• High purity cellulose fibers ensure maximum purity and minimal sample loss during extraction processes
• Binderless construction eliminates potential organic contamination while maintaining thermal stability through 120°C operation
• Consistent porosity matrix delivers reliable filtration performance for solid particle retention during reflux cycles
• Reinforced rim construction withstands repeated handling and prevents tearing during sample loading procedures
• Non-sterile grade optimized for general analytical applications requiring validated extraction protocols

LE-CT5-022 thimbles achieve superior solvent compatibility across organic solvents commonly used in Soxhlet extraction procedures for extracting nonvolatile and semivolatile organic compounds from soils, sediments, sludges, and granular wastes. Applications include analysis of pesticide residues, determination of oil/fat content of foods, and analysis of oil and grease in solid wastes. ASTM D5369¹ compatibility transforms these thimbles into validated reference-grade extraction media, providing performance assurance for your critical environmental monitoring, food safety testing, and waste characterization applications demanding both thermal stability and certified analytical accuracy.
