Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 33x94mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-339

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-339

Routine analytical extraction of pesticide residues, fat content, and organic pollutants requires a thimble that delivers reliable retention without interfering with downstream detection. Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Natural cellulose fiber construction enables rapid solvent wetting and efficient permeation, reducing extraction cycle times while maintaining quantitative sample retention. In practice, precision-manufactured dimensions ensure optimal fit within standard extraction apparatus, promoting complete solvent contact and quantitative analyte recovery.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Cellulose fiber construction provides a cost-effective extraction medium for high-volume laboratories processing large numbers of routine fat, oil, and residue samples.
• 2 mm wall construction balances mechanical strength with solvent throughput for efficient extraction cycle times.
• Cotton linter cellulose processed for low ash content minimizes background interference in gravimetric determinations and downstream chromatographic analysis.
• Mechanical strength maintained throughout solvent saturation supports extended extraction cycles without risk of thimble deformation or tearing.
• Smooth interior surface minimizes sample adhesion to the thimble wall, promoting quantitative transfer of extracted analytes to the collection flask.

When your extraction results need to withstand regulatory scrutiny, the quality of your consumables matters as much as the quality of your technique. High-purity cellulose construction and consistent dimensional tolerances give your laboratory a dependable extraction consumable that integrates seamlessly into established Soxhlet protocols. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
