Glass Extraction Thimble, Grade 603G, 1.5mm Thick, 33x100mm (25 pcs) SKU: 10371043

Glass Fiber (GF) Extraction Thimble - 10371043

Biochemical extraction and environmental analysis involving chlorinated solvents, strong acids, or oxidizing agents require a chemically inert extraction medium. Manufactured by Whatman under Cytiva's quality infrastructure, this device benefits from a filtration heritage that spans laboratory, environmental, and industrial applications. Inert glass microfiber composition introduces no organic extractable background, ensuring that analytical results reflect sample content rather than thimble contribution. Taken together, consistent manufacturing quality across production lots supports reproducible analytical results and reliable method validation for regulated laboratory environments.

Key Thimble Characteristics

• Borosilicate glass composition maintains dimensional stability across thermal cycling between ambient temperature and furnace pre-conditioning conditions without structural degradation.
• Rated for operating temperatures up to 500°C providing the thermal stability required for the intended range of extraction applications.
• Temperature tolerance enables muffle furnace pre-conditioning to establish a clean analytical baseline before beginning the extraction procedure.
• Chemical inertness across the full pH range supports extraction workflows involving acidic, neutral, and alkaline solvent systems without risk of fiber degradation.
• 100 mm height configuration optimized for standard Soxhlet extractor geometry with proper clearance above the siphon level.

Reproducible extraction performance across production lots means your laboratory can focus on interpreting data rather than troubleshooting consumable variability. Temperature stability through repeated thermal cycling supports your pre-conditioning and hot gas sampling workflows with consistent dimensional integrity and retention performance. Integrate Whatman filtration into your protocols to benefit from the brand recognition, lot documentation, and performance history that analytical laboratories trust worldwide.
