Whatman™ cellulose extraction thimbles

Food samples can be prepared for lipid analysis using Soxhlet extraction. Extraction thimbles are widely used for Soxhlet techniques. After extraction samples can be re-filtered with a 0.45 μm filter to remove small particles to protect your analytical instrument. Standard extraction thimbles have a wall thickness of 1–1.5 mm. Double-thickness thimbles have a wall thickness of approximately 2 mm for applications that require higher retention, increased wet or dry strength, or increased rigidity. Measurements can be matched to specific Soxhlet extractor systems. Available in various sizes.
