Glass Microfiber Extraction Thimble, 33x118mm ID x Height, Binderless Borosilicate, 25/Pk SKU: LE-GT9-124

Featuring binderless borosilicate glass microfiber technology delivering exceptional chemical resistance and thermal stability for demanding Soxhlet extraction applications. Manufactured from 100% pure borosilicate glass binderless microfibers, these thimbles ensure contamination-free analytical results by eliminating organic binders that could interfere with critical determinations. Seamless construction with consistent 1.5mm wall thickness and smooth interior surface delivers superior mechanical strength and retention while optimizing solvent flow patterns during extraction cycles.

Key Borosilicate Glass Microfiber Characteristics

• Temperature resistance up to 500°C enables processing of high-temperature samples and aggressive solvents incompatible with cellulose alternatives
• Hydrophobic surface chemistry resists moisture interference during solvent extraction while maintaining dimensional stability throughout thermal cycling
• Chemical resistance across pH range 0-14 with exceptional tolerance to acids and bases maximizes compatibility with diverse extraction protocols
• Binderless construction eliminates extractable organics that could contaminate samples during fat analysis and pesticide residue determinations
• High flow rates combined with exceptional small particle retention and high load capacity accelerate extraction cycles even with gelatinous samples

Key Construction Characteristics

• Precision 33mm inner diameter x 118mm height dimensions accommodate standard Soxhlet extraction apparatus configurations
• Consistent 1.5mm wall thickness provides structural integrity during automated extraction sequences while ensuring uniform heat transfer
• Smooth uniform glass fibers create characteristically high flow rates while retaining exceptionally small particles
• Seamless manufacturing eliminates weak points that could fail under vacuum conditions or thermal stress during reflux operations
• Nonsterile format optimized for analytical applications where sterility is not required, reducing cost while maintaining performance standards

LE-GT9-124 thimbles deliver superior performance in analysis of hot and acidic gases, pesticide residue determination, oil/fat content analysis of foods, and oil and grease analysis in solid wastes. Outstanding chemical compatibility with all common organic solvents except hydrofluoric acid maximizes your analytical flexibility when processing diverse sample matrices. Exceptional performance at temperatures above 120°C where cellulose thimble compatibility cannot meet requirements transforms these thimbles into the reliable choice for your demanding biochemical analysis and gravimetric methods requiring both extreme temperature tolerance and contamination-free extraction protocols.
