Featuring fast-flow cellulose fiber technology delivering consistent extraction performance for solid-liquid separation applications. High porosity construction ensures rapid solvent flow-through while maintaining structural integrity during extended extraction cycles. Pure cellulose construction totally free from binding elements provides contamination-free results for critical analytical protocols requiring validated sample preparation.
Key Cellulose Fiber Characteristics
- High-grade alpha-cellulose construction with seamless cotton linter eliminates fiber shedding during high-temperature extractions
- Consistent 1.5mm wall thickness with ash content less than 0.2% ensures uniform extraction rates across all sample positions
- Consistently high porosity design maintains fast flow characteristics while optimizing retention of particulate matter
- Hydrophilic surface chemistry accelerates solvent penetration and sample wetting for improved extraction efficiency
- Maximum operating temperature of 120°C accommodates most organic solvents and aqueous extraction protocols
Key Construction Characteristics
- 20mm internal diameter × 80mm height configuration fits standard Soxhlet extraction apparatus and automated extractors
- Superior mechanical strength and dimensional accuracy ensures reliable handling during sample loading and transfer operations
- Minimal extractable substances content from specially selected crude fibers validates blank contamination control for trace analysis
- Nonsterile specification reduces costs for routine analytical applications while maintaining analytical-grade purity standards
- Diameter tolerance ±3mm and height tolerance ±10mm provides consistent fit across multiple extractor manufacturers
