Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 25x100mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350219

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350219

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 applies over a century of filtration media expertise to this device, manufacturing under the quality standards that established its products as global laboratory references. Cotton linter cellulose processed under controlled conditions delivers the fiber purity and structural uniformity that validated extraction methods require. For this reason, consistent manufacturing quality across production lots supports reproducible analytical results and reliable method validation for regulated laboratory environments.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.

Whether you are running routine quality control extractions or method-critical environmental analysis, your thimble selection directly influences result reliability. Specifically, cost-effective cellulose construction paired with dependable retention performance supports your high-volume extraction throughput without compromising analytical data quality. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
