Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 22x80mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350211

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350211

Automated and manual Soxhlet systems require extraction thimbles sized precisely to the apparatus, ensuring optimal solvent flow and complete sample contact throughout the extraction cycle. Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. Pure cotton linter cellulose delivers the low-background purity required for quantitative recovery of trace-level organic analytes from complex sample matrices. By design, optimized fiber density and wall construction deliver the balance of solvent throughput and sample retention that efficient extraction workflows demand.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Overall length of 80 mm accommodates the sample volume requirements of common analytical extraction methods.
• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Cotton linter cellulose processed for low ash content minimizes background interference in gravimetric determinations and downstream chromatographic analysis.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.

Accurate extraction data begins with a thimble engineered to eliminate consumable-driven variability from your analytical workflow. Mechanical durability through extended solvent contact gives your laboratory confidence that sample containment remains intact throughout multi-hour extraction procedures. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
