Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 41x123mm, Thickness 1.5mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350265

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350265

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. 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. Altogether, consistent retention characteristics and dimensional precision ensure dependable performance from the first thimble in the pack to the last.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical extraction workflows.

Reproducible extraction performance across production lots means your laboratory can focus on interpreting data rather than troubleshooting consumable variability. For this purpose, compatibility with the full range of common extraction solvents provides your laboratory with a single thimble solution for diverse routine analytical methods. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
