Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 33x118mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350245

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350245

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. With a commitment to quality, produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Engineered cellulose fiber density provides the optimal balance between solvent throughput rate and particle retention for standard Soxhlet extraction workflows. To this end, reliable mechanical performance and controlled permeability support efficient analyte recovery across the full range of common laboratory extraction protocols.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.
• Rated for operating temperatures up to 120, providing the thermal stability required for the intended range of extraction applications.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.

Whether you are running routine quality control extractions or method-critical environmental analysis, your thimble selection directly influences result reliability. Meeting this challenge, cost-effective cellulose construction paired with dependable retention performance supports your high-volume extraction throughput without compromising analytical data quality. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
