Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 28x80mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-288

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-288

Reliable Soxhlet extraction of fats, oils, and organic residues depends on a sample containment medium that maintains its structural integrity throughout repeated solvent cycling. Notably, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Seamless cellulose construction with a smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion and promotes complete recovery of extracted analytes from the thimble walls. Engineered sample containment and solvent permeability work together to maximize extraction efficiency while protecting the integrity of downstream analytical determinations.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical extraction workflows.
• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• 28 mm inner diameter sized for precise fit within standard Soxhlet and automated extraction apparatus with appropriate wall clearance.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. Pure cotton linter composition and smooth interior surfaces protect your downstream analytical instruments from particulate carryover and extractable contamination. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
