Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 33x80mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-338

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-338

Gravimetric fat determination and pesticide residue workflows require an extraction thimble that combines high sample retention with minimal background contamination. Notably, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Alpha cellulose manufacturing ensures that each thimble meets consistent standards for wall thickness, fiber density, and structural integrity across production lots. Precise dimensional tolerances and uniform construction support seamless integration into both manual Soxhlet apparatus and automated extraction platforms.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• 80 mm height configuration optimized for standard Soxhlet extractor geometry with proper clearance above the siphon level.
• 1 mm wall construction balances mechanical strength with solvent throughput for efficient extraction cycle times.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.

Reliable sample containment and efficient solvent permeation ensure that your extraction cycles deliver quantitative analyte recovery every time. In response, reliable mechanical strength and low extractable background mean your gravimetric and chromatographic results reflect true sample composition from extraction to final determination. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
