Cellulose Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Double 2 mm Wall, 43x123mm (25 pcs) SKU: 2810-432

Cellulose Extraction Thimble - 2810-432

Efficient solid-liquid extraction for environmental compliance testing begins with a thimble that balances solvent permeability with the mechanical strength to contain fine-particle samples. Notably, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Cellulose fiber construction rated to 120°C provides reliable performance across the full range of common Soxhlet extraction solvents and operating conditions. On this basis, engineered sample containment and solvent permeability work together to maximize extraction efficiency while protecting the integrity of downstream analytical determinations.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• 43 mm ID configuration matched to standard extractor dimensions for reliable fit and consistent solvent flow dynamics.
• Dimensional tolerances matched to DIN and BS standard Soxhlet extractors ensure proper fit with 1 to 2 mm clearance within the apparatus body.
• High-purity alpha cellulose cotton linter construction delivers excellent mechanical strength and low extractable background for demanding analytical extraction workflows.
• Cellulose construction provides a cost-effective sample containment solution for high-throughput laboratories processing large extraction batch volumes.
• Natural cellulose fiber composition enables rapid solvent wetting without pre-conditioning, reducing setup time for routine extraction procedures.

When validated methods require documented consumable performance, your extraction thimble must deliver traceable quality and reproducible results. In these cases, precise dimensional fit within standard Soxhlet apparatus ensures efficient solvent cycling through your samples, maximizing analyte recovery in every extraction run. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
