Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-226
Standardized Soxhlet extraction methods for oil, grease, and organic compound analysis require a thimble that fits precisely and performs consistently across production lots. Notably, produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Alpha cellulose fiber composition ensures minimal ash content and low extractable residues, supporting accurate gravimetric and chromatographic downstream analysis. To this end, documented manufacturing consistency ensures that extraction results reflect true sample composition rather than variability introduced by the consumable.
Key Thimble Characteristics
- Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.
- Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
- Overall length of 65 mm accommodates the sample volume requirements of common analytical extraction methods.
- Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
- Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
Reliable sample containment and efficient solvent permeation ensure that your extraction cycles deliver quantitative analyte recovery every time. Low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
