Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 22x80mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-228

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-228

Standardized Soxhlet extraction methods for oil, grease, and organic compound analysis require a thimble that fits precisely and performs consistently across production lots. Moreover, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Cellulose fiber construction rated to 120°C provides reliable performance across the full range of common Soxhlet extraction solvents and operating conditions. Reliable mechanical performance and controlled permeability support efficient analyte recovery across the full range of common laboratory extraction protocols.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• 80 mm thimble length provides sufficient sample capacity while positioning correctly above the siphon tube in standard extraction apparatus.
• Mechanical strength sufficient to maintain structural integrity when saturated with solvent and loaded with sample, even during extended multi-hour extraction cycles.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
• 1 mm wall construction balances mechanical strength with solvent throughput for efficient extraction cycle times.
• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. In this context, 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.
