Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 33x130mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350247

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350247

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. Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. Seamless cellulose construction with a smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and promotes complete recovery of extracted analytes from the thimble walls. Consequently, uniform construction quality delivers the reproducible performance that standardized extraction methods require for defensible analytical reporting.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.

Consistent thimble quality across every pack gives your laboratory the confidence to report extraction results without questioning the consumable. Cost-effective cellulose construction paired with dependable retention performance supports your high-volume extraction throughput without compromising analytical data quality. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
