Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 33x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-330

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-330

Pharmaceutical raw material testing and food quality analysis protocols specify extraction thimbles that provide documented purity and consistent mechanical performance across every unit. In addition, manufactured by Whatman under Cytiva's quality infrastructure, this device benefits from a filtration heritage that spans laboratory, environmental, and industrial applications. Cellulose fiber construction rated to 120°C provides reliable performance across the full range of common Soxhlet extraction solvents and operating conditions. As designed, precise dimensional tolerances and uniform construction support seamless integration into both manual Soxhlet apparatus and automated extraction platforms.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Pure cellulose composition ensures full compatibility with common Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, and diethyl ether.
• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• Uniform fiber density throughout the thimble wall prevents solvent channeling and ensures complete sample contact during each extraction cycle.

Reliable sample containment and efficient solvent permeation ensure that your extraction cycles deliver quantitative analyte recovery every time. In response, 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.
