Glass Extraction Thimble, Grade 603G, 1.5mm Thick, 33x94mm (25 pcs) SKU: 10371042

Glass Fiber (GF) Extraction Thimble - 10371042

Gravimetric determination of airborne particulates and semi-volatile organic compounds requires an extraction thimble that withstands both high-temperature sampling and solvent extraction. Produced under Whatman's established manufacturing platform, this device reflects the consistency and lot-level documentation that analytical laboratories require. Pure borosilicate glass composition provides broad chemical resistance to aggressive solvents, strong acids, and oxidizing agents encountered in demanding extraction workflows. Predictable thimble-to-thimble consistency eliminates a common source of analytical variability, allowing laboratory results to reflect sample differences rather than consumable quality.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Inherent resistance to biological degradation eliminates shelf-life and storage condition concerns in long-term laboratory inventory.
• Suitable for direct use in hot gas sampling applications where the thimble serves as both the particulate collection medium and the extraction vessel.
• High-purity glass microfiber construction supports trace-level analytical methods with stringent background contamination requirements.
• Borosilicate glass microfiber construction provides broad chemical resistance to acids, bases, and aggressive organic solvents encountered in demanding extraction workflows.
• Inorganic binder reinforcement provides enhanced structural rigidity for applications where thimble handling and mechanical durability are priorities.

Your extraction workflow depends on a thimble that maintains its structural integrity and retention characteristics throughout the entire analytical procedure. For applications like these, reliable performance in both Soxhlet extraction and direct hot gas sampling gives your laboratory a versatile high-temperature extraction medium for diverse analytical applications. Choose Whatman products to ensure that your filtration step meets the quality expectations established by one of the most recognized names in laboratory science.
