Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 48x145mm, Thickness 2.0mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350273

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350273

Laboratory workflows involving lipid extraction, feed analysis, and solid waste characterization depend on a sample vessel that maintains dimensional stability during prolonged solvent contact. Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. High-purity cellulose construction balances the permeability needed for efficient solvent circulation with the mechanical integrity to retain fine particulate samples. Ultimately, precise dimensional tolerances and uniform construction support seamless integration into both manual Soxhlet apparatus and automated extraction platforms.

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.
• Precision 48 mm internal diameter ensures optimal sample capacity while maintaining the clearance required for efficient solvent siphoning.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.

Reliable sample containment and efficient solvent permeation ensure that your extraction cycles deliver quantitative analyte recovery every time. In practice, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
