Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 28x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-280

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-280

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. As a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Cotton linter cellulose processed under controlled conditions delivers the fiber purity and structural uniformity that validated extraction methods require. Reliable mechanical performance and controlled permeability support efficient analyte recovery across the full range of common laboratory extraction protocols.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles.
• Mechanical strength sufficient to maintain structural integrity when saturated with solvent and loaded with sample, even during extended multi-hour extraction cycles.
• Seamless closed-bottom construction securely contains powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials without secondary containment requirements.
• Precision 28 mm internal diameter ensures optimal sample capacity while maintaining the clearance required for efficient solvent siphoning.

Whether you are running routine quality control extractions or method-critical environmental analysis, your thimble selection directly influences result reliability. Mechanical durability through extended solvent contact gives your laboratory confidence that sample containment remains intact throughout multi-hour extraction procedures. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
