Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 26x60mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-266

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-266

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. Moreover, Whatman's expertise in cellulose, glass fiber, and polymeric membrane production informs the material selection and quality controls applied to this device. Premium cotton linter fibers deliver the tensile strength and dimensional stability needed to withstand repeated solvent cycling without tearing or deformation. As a result, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• 26 mm inner diameter sized for precise fit within standard Soxhlet and automated extraction apparatus with appropriate wall clearance.
• Rated for operating temperatures up to 120, providing the thermal stability required for the intended range of extraction applications.
• Uniform fiber density throughout the thimble wall prevents solvent channeling and ensures complete sample contact during each extraction cycle.
• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.
• Controlled fiber density promotes efficient solvent permeation while retaining solid sample material within the thimble body during repeated extraction cycles.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. For this purpose, pure cotton linter composition and smooth interior surfaces protect your downstream analytical instruments from particulate carryover and extractable contamination. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
