Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 26x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-260

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-260

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. Built on proven expertise, Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction provides excellent mechanical strength and sample retention while maintaining low extractable background levels. For this reason, manufacturing quality controls ensure that each thimble meets the specifications required for validated extraction methods in environmental, food safety, and industrial laboratories.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• Seamless closed-bottom construction securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials without secondary containment requirements.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Smooth interior wall surface promotes complete analyte transfer to the collection flask, minimizing sample loss from wall adhesion.

Reproducible extraction performance across production lots means your laboratory can focus on interpreting data rather than troubleshooting consumable variability. High-purity cellulose construction and consistent dimensional tolerances give your laboratory a dependable extraction consumable that integrates seamlessly into established Soxhlet protocols. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
