Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Single 1.5mm Wall, 60x160mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2800-608

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2800-608

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. Additionally, produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Alpha cellulose fiber composition ensures minimal ash content and low extractable residues, supporting accurate gravimetric and chromatographic downstream analysis. As a result, engineered sample containment and solvent permeability work together to maximize extraction efficiency while protecting the integrity of downstream analytical determinations.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Dimensional precision matched to standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures proper clearance within the extractor body for unobstructed solvent siphoning.
• Closed-bottom design eliminates the need for secondary containment, allowing direct loading of powdered, granular, and semi-solid sample materials.
• Alpha cellulose cotton linter fiber composition provides high purity with minimal extractable residues for accurate gravimetric and chromatographic analysis.
• 60 mm inner diameter sized for precise fit within standard Soxhlet and automated extraction apparatus with appropriate wall clearance.
• Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.

Your extraction method is only as reliable as the weakest component in the system, and the thimble is where sample integrity begins. For this application, reliable mechanical strength and low extractable background mean your gravimetric and chromatographic results reflect true sample composition from extraction to final determination. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
