Extraction Thimbles Cellulose 41mm x 123mm

Cellulose extraction thimbles are high-purity, hollow cylindrical filters used primarily in Soxhlet extractors to hold solid or semi-solid samples while separating desired components via solvent reflux. They are essential for fat/lipid determination in food/feed, pesticide residue analysis, environmental pollutant testing, and industrial component extraction.
Extraction Thimbles Cellulose 41mm x 123mm

Key Uses and Applications:
Food and Feed Analysis: Determining fat content (lipid extraction) and analyzing pesticide residues in food materials.
Environmental Testing: Extracting organic pollutants, oil, and grease from soil, sludge, and solid waste samples.
Pharmaceutical/Natural Products: Extracting active components from medicinal plants or natural materials.
Air Monitoring: Collecting solid particles and dust in smoke stack gas monitoring.
Chemical Processing: Liquid-solid extraction where a sample is repeatedly soaked with solvent to remove required components.
Industrial Quality Control: Used in automatic extractors to analyse raw materials or finished products.
Extraction Thimbles Cellulose 41mm x 123mm

Characteristics:
Material: High-quality cotton linters, often with high alpha-cellulose content.
Operating Temp: Generally safe up to 120°C.
Design: Allows for high liquid permeability and retention of solid particles during filtration processes.

Extraction thimbles made of cellulose, are perfect sample reservoirs for Soxhlet extraction in quality control, research and/or analysis. Solvent extraction from solids and semi-solids can be carried out easily and reliably.
The thimbles fit Soxhlet extractors and automatic extractors.
