Grade 603 Standard Cellulose Extraction Thimble, 80x250mm, Thickness 3.0 mm, 25/Pk SKU: 10350324

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 10350324

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. Drawing on deep manufacturing experience, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Seamless cellulose construction with a smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and promotes complete recovery of extracted analytes from the thimble walls. On this basis, engineered sample containment and solvent permeability work together to maximize extraction efficiency while protecting the integrity of downstream analytical determinations.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.
• Consistent 3 mm wall thickness throughout the thimble body ensures uniform solvent permeation and predictable extraction performance.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.

Your analytical confidence starts with an extraction thimble that performs consistently from the first sample to the last in every batch. In these cases, precise dimensional fit within standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures efficient solvent cycling through your samples, maximizing analyte recovery in every extraction run. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
