Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 33x90mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350241

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350241

Environmental soil analysis and food safety testing protocols demand an extraction medium that provides reproducible sample containment without contributing extractable impurities. With a commitment to quality, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Premium cotton linter fibers deliver the tensile strength and dimensional stability needed to withstand repeated solvent cycling without tearing or deformation. With this in mind, documented manufacturing consistency ensures that extraction results reflect true sample composition rather than variability introduced by the consumable.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• 33 mm inner diameter sized for precise fit within standard Soxhlet and automated extraction apparatus with appropriate wall clearance.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.

Reliable sample containment and efficient solvent permeation ensure that your extraction cycles deliver quantitative analyte recovery every time. Addressing this directly, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
