Product Overview

Whatman 603 Cellulose Thimbles are engineered for high-performance filtration and Soxhlet extraction applications, delivering consistent purity and reliability in laboratory settings. Crafted from premium-grade cellulose, these thimbles exhibit exceptional chemical resistance, making them ideal for handling a wide range of solvents and reagents without compromising structural integrity. Their uniform porosity ensures efficient particle retention, while the robust construction prevents deformation during prolonged use. The thimbles are designed to fit seamlessly into standard Soxhlet apparatus, facilitating smooth extraction processes with minimal risk of contamination. Their high-purity composition minimizes extractables, ensuring accurate and reproducible results in critical applications. Whether used for environmental analysis, food testing, or pharmaceutical research, these thimbles provide a dependable solution for demanding filtration tasks. The absence of binders or additives further enhances their suitability for sensitive analytical procedures. Available in a comprehensive range of sizes, they cater to diverse sample volumes and experimental requirements, offering flexibility without sacrificing performance. Their compatibility with organic and aqueous solvents expands their utility across multiple laboratory workflows, making them a versatile choice for researchers and technicians alike.

FAQs

1. What solvents are compatible with Whatman 603 Cellulose Thimbles?

These thimbles are compatible with a wide range of organic and aqueous solvents, including acetone, ethanol, hexane, and water, making them suitable for diverse extraction and filtration processes.

2. Can these thimbles be reused after extraction?

While technically possible, reuse is not recommended as residual contaminants or structural degradation may affect subsequent results. For optimal performance, single-use is advised.

3. How should these thimbles be stored to maintain their integrity?

Store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging or an airtight container to prevent contamination or absorption of ambient humidity.

4. Are there alternatives to cellulose thimbles for Soxhlet extraction?

Alternatives include glass fiber thimbles, which offer higher temperature resistance, or quartz thimbles for applications requiring extreme chemical inertness, though cellulose remains the standard for most routine extractions.

5. What is the maximum temperature these thimbles can withstand?

The thimbles can typically withstand temperatures up to 120?C in dry conditions, though prolonged exposure to high heat or aggressive solvents may reduce their lifespan.
