Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 41x123mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-412

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-412

Pharmaceutical raw material testing and food quality analysis protocols specify extraction thimbles that provide documented purity and consistent mechanical performance across every unit. Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. Alpha cellulose fiber composition ensures minimal ash content and low extractable residues, supporting accurate gravimetric and chromatographic downstream analysis. 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

• Uniform fiber density throughout the thimble wall prevents solvent channeling and ensures complete sample contact during each extraction cycle.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• 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.
• 123 mm thimble length provides sufficient sample capacity while positioning correctly above the siphon tube in standard extraction apparatus.

Accurate extraction data begins with a thimble engineered to eliminate consumable-driven variability from your analytical workflow. Pure cotton linter composition and smooth interior surfaces protect your downstream analytical instruments from particulate carryover and extractable contamination. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
