Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 25x80mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-258

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-258

Environmental soil analysis and food safety testing protocols demand an extraction medium that provides reproducible sample containment without contributing extractable impurities. As a Whatman product, this device carries the brand recognition and documented performance history that supports specification in standardized analytical methods. High-purity cellulose construction balances the permeability needed for efficient solvent circulation with the mechanical integrity to retain fine particulate samples. In combination, uniform construction quality delivers the reproducible performance that standardized extraction methods require for defensible analytical reporting.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.
• Overall length of 80 mm accommodates the sample volume requirements of common analytical extraction methods.
• 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.
• 25 mm inner diameter sized for precise fit within standard Soxhlet and automated extraction apparatus with appropriate wall clearance.

Consistent thimble quality across every pack gives your laboratory the confidence to report extraction results without questioning the consumable. In this context, high-purity cellulose construction and consistent dimensional tolerances give your laboratory a dependable extraction consumable that integrates seamlessly into established Soxhlet protocols. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
