Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 30x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-300

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-300

Laboratory workflows involving lipid extraction, feed analysis, and solid waste characterization depend on a sample vessel that maintains dimensional stability during prolonged solvent contact. Notably, 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. Alpha cellulose manufacturing ensures that each thimble meets consistent standards for wall thickness, fiber density, and structural integrity across production lots. Precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.

Consistent thimble quality across every pack gives your laboratory the confidence to report extraction results without questioning the consumable. For exactly this reason, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
