Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 34x130mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350252

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350252

Gravimetric fat determination and pesticide residue workflows require an extraction thimble that combines high sample retention with minimal background contamination. With a commitment to quality, Whatman applies over a century of filtration media expertise to this device, manufacturing under the quality standards that established its products as global laboratory references. Premium cotton linter fibers deliver the tensile strength and dimensional stability needed to withstand repeated solvent cycling without tearing or deformation. Dependable extraction performance across diverse sample types reduces method variability and supports confident analytical decision-making in routine and regulated applications.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Uniform 1.5 mm wall thickness provides reliable structural integrity during extended solvent contact and repeated extraction cycles.
• Seamless closed-bottom construction securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials without secondary containment requirements.
• 130 mm height configuration optimized for standard Soxhlet extractor geometry with proper clearance above the siphon level.
• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.

Your analytical confidence starts with an extraction thimble that performs consistently from the first sample to the last in every batch. For this purpose, low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
