Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 33x80mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-338

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-338

Quantitative recovery of extractable organic compounds from soil, food, and industrial matrices depends on a thimble that retains the sample while allowing unrestricted solvent circulation. 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. High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction provides excellent mechanical strength and sample retention while maintaining low extractable background levels. As designed, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Compatible with standard Soxhlet extraction solvents including hexane, petroleum ether, dichloromethane, diethyl ether, and chloroform.
• 2 mm wall construction balances mechanical strength with solvent throughput for efficient extraction cycle times.
• Low ash content supports accurate weight-based analytical determinations where thimble-derived residues could compromise measurement precision.
• Cellulose fiber matrix enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation without pre-conditioning steps, reducing total extraction preparation time.
• 80 mm thimble length provides sufficient sample capacity while positioning correctly above the siphon tube in standard extraction apparatus.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. To meet this need, low ash content and minimal fiber shedding ensure your weight-based determinations reflect extracted analyte mass rather than thimble-derived residue contributions. When your methods require a filtration product with established performance credentials, Whatman delivers the documented quality your laboratory depends on.
