Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 25x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-250

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-250

Quantitative recovery of extractable organic compounds from soil, food, and industrial matrices depends on a thimble that retains the sample while allowing unrestricted solvent circulation. Produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Premium cotton linter fibers deliver the tensile strength and dimensional stability needed to withstand repeated solvent cycling without tearing or deformation. In effect, engineered sample containment and solvent permeability work together to maximize extraction efficiency while protecting the integrity of downstream analytical determinations.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.
• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.

Selecting an extraction thimble matched to your solvent system, temperature requirements, and apparatus dimensions ensures optimal analytical performance from the start. Here, mechanical durability through extended solvent contact gives your laboratory confidence that sample containment remains intact throughout multi-hour extraction procedures. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
