Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 37x130mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-373

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-373

Automated and manual Soxhlet systems require extraction thimbles sized precisely to the apparatus, ensuring optimal solvent flow and complete sample contact throughout the extraction cycle. As a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Natural cellulose fiber construction enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation, reducing extraction cycle times while maintaining quantitative sample retention. In effect, manufacturing quality controls ensure that each thimble meets the specifications required for validated extraction methods in environmental, food safety, and industrial laboratories.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.
• Seamless cylindrical construction with a closed bottom provides secure sample containment throughout extended Soxhlet extraction cycles without risk of sample loss.
• Cotton linter cellulose processed for low ash content minimizes background interference in gravimetric determinations and downstream chromatographic analysis.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.

Your extraction method is only as reliable as the weakest component in the system, and the thimble is where sample integrity begins. Under these conditions, cost-effective cellulose construction paired with dependable retention performance supports your high-volume extraction throughput without compromising analytical data quality. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
