Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1 mm Wall, 43x123mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-432

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-432

Gravimetric fat determination and pesticide residue workflows require an extraction thimble that combines high sample retention with minimal background contamination. Reflecting industry-leading standards, manufactured by Whatman under Cytiva's quality infrastructure, this device benefits from a filtration heritage that spans laboratory, environmental, and industrial applications. Consistent wall thickness throughout the thimble body promotes uniform solvent flow and complete sample contact across the entire extraction surface. Consequently, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• 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.
• Uniform wall construction maintains consistent solvent flow distribution across the thimble surface, preventing channeling that could reduce extraction efficiency.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.

Accurate extraction data begins with a thimble engineered to eliminate consumable-driven variability from your analytical workflow. In this context, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
