Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 33x100mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350243

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350243

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. Built on proven expertise, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. High-purity cellulose construction balances the permeability needed for efficient solvent circulation with the mechanical integrity to retain fine particulate samples. Predictable thimble-to-thimble consistency eliminates a common source of analytical variability, allowing laboratory results to reflect sample differences rather than consumable quality.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.
• Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• 33 mm ID configuration matched to standard extractor dimensions for reliable fit and consistent solvent flow dynamics.

Selecting an extraction thimble matched to your solvent system, temperature requirements, and apparatus dimensions ensures optimal analytical performance from the start. In practice, low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
