Double Thick Cellulose Extraction Thimbles - 16x60mm - 2810-166

GE Whatman - Cellulose extraction thimbles are produced from high quality alpha cellulose cotton linter and have excellent mechanical strength and retention. Double thickness thimbles have a wall thickness of approximately 2mm (6 ?M nominal particle retention) for applications where higher retention and increased wet or dry strength or rigidity is required. These thimbles are used in Soxhlet extraction units providing a safe, convenient and efficient method of solvent extraction of solids and semi-solids. Soxhlet extraction is a widely used technique for the analysis of fats or pesticides in foods and soil materials and many other procedures that involve a solid-liquid extraction.
