Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 28x80mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350226

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350226

Pharmaceutical raw material testing and food quality analysis protocols specify extraction thimbles that provide documented purity and consistent mechanical performance across every unit. Notably, produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Cellulose fiber construction rated to 120°C provides reliable performance across the full range of common Soxhlet extraction solvents and operating conditions. Consequently, uniform construction quality delivers the reproducible performance that standardized extraction methods require for defensible analytical reporting.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Mechanical strength sufficient to maintain structural integrity when saturated with solvent and loaded with sample, even during extended multi-hour extraction cycles.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.
• High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical extraction workflows.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.

Whether you are running routine quality control extractions or method-critical environmental analysis, your thimble selection directly influences result reliability. To meet this need, compatibility with the full range of common extraction solvents provides your laboratory with a single thimble solution for diverse routine analytical methods. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
