Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 26x60mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-266

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-266

Pharmaceutical raw material testing and food quality analysis protocols specify extraction thimbles that provide documented purity and consistent mechanical performance across every unit. 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. Consistent manufacturing quality across production lots supports reproducible analytical results and reliable method validation for regulated laboratory environments.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• Seamless closed-bottom construction securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials without secondary containment requirements.

Reproducible extraction performance across production lots means your laboratory can focus on interpreting data rather than troubleshooting consumable variability. 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.
