Product Overview

The Whatman 603 ASE thimbles are engineered for high-performance solvent extraction and filtration in laboratory settings. Constructed from premium-grade cellulose, these thimbles offer exceptional chemical resistance and low extractable levels, ensuring accurate and reliable results. Their robust design minimizes fiber shedding, preventing sample contamination while maintaining consistent flow rates. The uniform porosity guarantees efficient particle retention, making them ideal for demanding applications. These thimbles are compatible with accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) systems, providing seamless integration into existing workflows. Their high-purity composition ensures minimal interference with analytical processes, while the standardized dimensions (17x37MM for 11mL and 17x79MM for 22mL) cater to different sample volumes. The Whatman 603 series is trusted for its durability and reproducibility, delivering consistent performance across multiple extractions. Their heat-resistant properties allow for use in elevated temperature conditions without compromising structural integrity. These thimbles are an essential component for laboratories requiring precision in sample preparation and extraction procedures.

FAQs

1. What materials are Whatman 603 ASE thimbles made from?

These thimbles are made from high-purity cellulose fibers that provide excellent chemical resistance and low extractable levels for reliable filtration.

2. Can these thimbles be used with organic solvents?

Yes, Whatman 603 ASE thimbles are designed to withstand a wide range of organic solvents commonly used in laboratory extraction processes.
