Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 27x80mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350223

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350223

Efficient solid-liquid extraction for environmental compliance testing begins with a thimble that balances solvent permeability with the mechanical strength to contain fine-particle samples. With a commitment to quality, Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. Consistent wall thickness throughout the thimble body promotes uniform solvent flow and complete sample contact across the entire extraction surface. Predictable thimble-to-thimble consistency eliminates a common source of analytical variability, allowing laboratory results to reflect sample differences rather than consumable quality.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical extraction workflows.
• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• 27 mm ID configuration matched to standard extractor dimensions for reliable fit and consistent solvent flow dynamics.
• Mechanical strength sufficient to maintain structural integrity when saturated with solvent and loaded with sample, even during extended multi-hour extraction cycles.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.

Your extraction method is only as reliable as the weakest component in the system, and the thimble is where sample integrity begins. To that end, cost-effective cellulose construction paired with dependable retention performance supports your high-volume extraction throughput without compromising analytical data quality. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
