Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 18x55mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-185

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-185

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. Whatman applies over a century of filtration media expertise to this device, manufacturing under the quality standards that established its products as global laboratory references. Seamless cellulose construction with a smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and promotes complete recovery of extracted analytes from the thimble walls. In sum, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• 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. To that end, low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
