Glass Microfiber Extraction Thimble, 16x100mm ID x Height, Borosilicate, 1.0mm Wall, 25/Pk SKU: LE-GT9-104

Featuring binderless borosilicate glass microfiber construction delivering exceptional thermal stability and chemical resistance for demanding Soxhlet extraction applications. The seamless 16mm inner diameter by 100mm height configuration provides optimal sample capacity while maintaining precise 1.0mm wall thickness consistency. Ultra-high purity construction withstands continuous operation to 500°C¹ without degradation, making these thimbles ideal for gravimetric analysis of hot environments and acidic gas monitoring applications where cellulose alternatives fail.

Key Borosilicate Glass Microfiber Characteristics

• 100% pure borosilicate glass binderless microfiber eliminates organic contamination and binder interference in analytical protocols
• Hydrophobic surface chemistry resists moisture uptake during ambient air sampling and biochemical extraction procedures
• Exceptional thermal shock resistance accommodates rapid temperature cycling from -70°C to 500°C without cracking or dimensional change
• Superior chemical resistance to acids, solvents, and alkaline solutions maximizes compatibility with aggressive extraction solvents
• Ultra-low thermal expansion coefficient (3.3 x 10^-6 K^-1)² prevents stress fractures during high-temperature processing

Key Construction Characteristics

• Seamless cylindrical design with consistent 1.0mm wall thickness ensures uniform extraction flow patterns and mechanical integrity
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample retention while optimizing solvent contact efficiency during reflux cycles
• Standard 16x100mm dimensions accommodate most automated Soxhlet extraction units including Foss, Büchi, and Gerhardt systems
• Superior mechanical strength withstands handling stresses during sample loading and apparatus assembly procedures
• Non-sterile format ready for immediate use in research and quality control applications requiring validated extraction protocols

LE-GT9-104 thimbles achieve reliable performance in biochemical analysis, fat determination protocols, and environmental monitoring applications requiring extreme temperature tolerance. Outstanding resistance to thermal shock and chemical degradation accelerates your analytical workflows while eliminating the contamination risks associated with cellulose-based alternatives. These extraction thimbles deliver consistent results for gravimetric methods, pesticide residue analysis, and oil/grease determinations where analytical accuracy and temperature stability are critical for regulatory compliance.
