Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 10x50mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-105

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-105

Pharmaceutical raw material testing and food quality analysis protocols specify extraction thimbles that provide documented purity and consistent mechanical performance across every unit. Produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Natural cellulose fiber construction enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation, reducing extraction cycle times while maintaining quantitative sample retention. Consistent manufacturing quality across production lots supports reproducible analytical results and reliable method validation for regulated laboratory environments.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Uniform fiber density throughout the thimble wall prevents solvent channeling and ensures complete sample contact during each extraction cycle.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• 50 mm height configuration optimized for standard Soxhlet extractor geometry with proper clearance above the siphon level.

Selecting an extraction thimble matched to your solvent system, temperature requirements, and apparatus dimensions ensures optimal analytical performance from the start. In this context, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
