Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 26x60mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350220

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350220

Quantitative recovery of extractable organic compounds from soil, food, and industrial matrices depends on a thimble that retains the sample while allowing unrestricted solvent circulation. Reflecting industry-leading standards, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Pure cotton linter cellulose delivers the low-background purity required for quantitative recovery of trace-level organic analytes from complex sample matrices. In effect, optimized fiber density and wall construction deliver the balance of solvent throughput and sample retention that efficient extraction workflows demand.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• Seamless closed-bottom construction securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials without secondary containment requirements.
• Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles.
• Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.

Accurate extraction data begins with a thimble engineered to eliminate consumable-driven variability from your analytical workflow. Consistent lot-to-lot manufacturing quality ensures your extraction workflows produce reproducible data without introducing consumable-driven variability between sample batches. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
