Glass Fiber (GF) Extraction Thimble - 10371036
Critical environmental monitoring protocols for particulate collection in hot gas streams require an extraction medium that maintains its retention characteristics at elevated operating temperatures. Manufactured by Whatman under Cytiva's quality infrastructure, this device benefits from a filtration heritage that spans laboratory, environmental, and industrial applications. Ultra-low organic background from pure glass construction supports trace-level analytical methods where thimble-derived extractables would compromise detection limits. As a result, optimized fiber density and wall construction deliver the balance of solvent throughput and sample retention that efficient extraction workflows demand.
Key Thimble Characteristics
- Temperature tolerance enables muffle furnace pre-conditioning to establish a clean analytical baseline before beginning the extraction procedure.
- 0.8 nominal retention captures fine particulate sample material while maintaining the solvent permeability required for efficient extraction.
- Glass microfiber depth structure provides high particulate loading capacity while maintaining consistent solvent flow throughout the extraction cycle.
- Borosilicate composition delivers inherent resistance to biological degradation, eliminating storage and shelf-life concerns in long-term laboratory inventory.
- Temperature tolerance up to 500°C enables muffle furnace pre-conditioning to burn off trace organic residues before the extraction cycle begins.
Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. For applications like these, fine particle retention through glass microfiber depth filtration gives your laboratory exceptional sample containment for demanding analytical matrices. Standardize on Whatman filtration to bring the consistency and documented performance of a century-old filtration brand to your laboratory workflows.
