Glass Soxhlet Extraction Thimble, Grade 603G, 1 x 16x50mm, 25 Pk SKU: 10371005

Glass Fiber (GF) Extraction Thimble - 10371005

Pollution monitoring and stack emission analysis demand an extraction medium engineered for direct exposure to hot, acidic gas streams without structural degradation. Reflecting industry-leading standards, Whatman manufactures this device with the same process controls applied across its filtration portfolio, ensuring rated performance is verified at the production lot level. Pure borosilicate glass composition provides broad chemical resistance to aggressive solvents, strong acids, and oxidizing agents encountered in demanding extraction workflows. Consistent retention characteristics and dimensional precision ensure dependable performance from the first thimble in the pack to the last.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Rated for operating temperatures up to 500, providing the thermal stability required for the intended range of extraction applications.
• Borosilicate glass microfiber composition provides chemical resistance to strong acids, bases, and aggressive organic solvents encountered in demanding extraction workflows.
• Sustained thermal stability allows direct use in hot gas sampling applications where the thimble functions as both the collection medium and the extraction vessel.
• Temperature tolerance enables muffle furnace pre-conditioning to establish a clean analytical baseline before beginning the extraction procedure.
• Borosilicate glass maintains dimensional stability through repeated thermal cycling between ambient conditions and elevated pre-conditioning temperatures.

Your extraction method is only as reliable as the weakest component in the system, and the thimble is where sample integrity begins. For exactly this reason, reliable performance in both Soxhlet extraction and direct hot gas sampling gives your laboratory a versatile high-temperature extraction medium for diverse analytical applications. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
