Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 28x60mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350225

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350225

Standardized Soxhlet extraction methods for oil, grease, and organic compound analysis require a thimble that fits precisely and performs consistently across production lots. Additionally, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Engineered cellulose fiber density provides the optimal balance between solvent throughput rate and particle retention for standard Soxhlet extraction workflows. Consistent manufacturing quality across production lots supports reproducible analytical results and reliable method validation for regulated laboratory environments.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• 1.5 mm wall construction balances mechanical strength with solvent throughput for efficient extraction cycle times.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• Mechanical strength sufficient to maintain structural integrity when saturated with solvent and loaded with sample, even during extended multi-hour extraction cycles.

Your extraction method is only as reliable as the weakest component in the system, and the thimble is where sample integrity begins. Addressing this directly, precise dimensional fit within standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures efficient solvent cycling through your samples, maximizing analyte recovery in every extraction run. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
