Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 48x200mm, Thickness 2.0mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350274

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350274

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, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.
• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Overall length of 200 mm accommodates the sample volume requirements of common analytical extraction methods.
• Rated for operating temperatures up to 120, providing the thermal stability required for the intended range of extraction applications.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.

Dependable extraction performance protects your laboratory from the hidden cost of failed batches, repeated analyses, and questionable data quality. Under these conditions, consistent lot-to-lot manufacturing quality ensures your extraction workflows produce reproducible data without introducing consumable-driven variability between sample batches. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
