Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 16x60mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-166

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-166

Gravimetric fat determination and pesticide residue workflows require an extraction thimble that combines high sample retention with minimal background contamination. Reflecting industry-leading standards, as a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. Cellulose fiber construction rated to 120°C provides reliable performance across the full range of common Soxhlet extraction solvents and operating conditions. Optimized fiber density and wall construction deliver the balance of solvent throughput and sample retention that efficient extraction workflows demand.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Temperature resistance to 120 ensures reliable thimble performance across the full range of compatible extraction and pre-conditioning protocols.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.
• Precision 16 mm internal diameter ensures optimal sample capacity while maintaining the clearance required for efficient solvent siphoning.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. Specifically, uniform wall construction and rapid solvent wetting reduce your per-sample preparation time while maintaining the quantitative recovery your analytical methods demand. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
