Omicron 1012580 Cellulose Extraction Thimbles 25 mm x 80 mm, 1.5 mm

OMICRON Cellulose Extraction thimbles are produced from high purity alpha cellulose cotton linter, primarily used in a Soxhlet Apparatus for Solid-Liquid Extraction (SLE) for a mixture of solids and semi-solids in the estimation of fats or pesticides in food and solid material, analysis of lacquer and binder in paints, vitamin A and carotene extractions. OMICRON Cellulose Extraction Thimbles are also used for crude oil sampling to determine amounts of oil in oil water slurries and cold stack air monitoring. High-performance cellulose extraction thimbles are produced from high quality α-cellulose cotton linter and have excellent mechanical strength and retention. Thimble walls are approximately 1.5 mm thick and have been found to perform satisfactory in applications requiring either a single or double wall thickness. The dimensions are matched exactly to those of the thimble holders to ensure optimum fit.

Applications:

• Extraction of lipids and fats in food and feeding stuff
• Used in Soxhlet & Tecator Extractors
• Separation of particulate matter from pollutants, dust, aerosols, and gas
• Extraction of the components of natural products from plants in the pharmaceutical industry
• Also used to extract and concentrate non-aqueous chemicals or additives from a solid sample for analysis (such as HPLC or GC)
