Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 30x80mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350234

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350234

Gravimetric fat determination and pesticide residue workflows require an extraction thimble that combines high sample retention with minimal background contamination. Reflecting industry-leading standards, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Natural cellulose fiber construction enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation, reducing extraction cycle times while maintaining quantitative sample retention. Precise dimensional tolerances and uniform construction support seamless integration into both manual Soxhlet apparatus and automated extraction platforms.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
• 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. Here, low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
