Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 28x100mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350227

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350227

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. Moreover, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Seamless cellulose construction with a smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and promotes complete recovery of extracted analytes from the thimble walls. To this end, consistent retention characteristics and dimensional precision ensure dependable performance from the first thimble in the pack to the last.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• Cotton linter cellulose processed for low ash content minimizes background interference in gravimetric determinations and downstream chromatographic analysis.

When your extraction results need to withstand regulatory scrutiny, the quality of your consumables matters as much as the quality of your technique. To that end, precise dimensional fit within standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures efficient solvent cycling through your samples, maximizing analyte recovery in every extraction run. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
