Product Description
Watch your Soxhlet extraction in progress and weigh the residue in the same vessel afterward. All-glass construction lets you see the sample throughout the run and eliminates paper or cellulose thimbles that can shed fibers, absorb solvent or add weight variation.
This listing is for Kimble catalog number 586500-0222: KONTES All-Glass Extraction Thimble, 40-60 micron, 55 mL. Each thimble has a sealed-in fritted glass disc in either coarse, 40 to 60 micron, or extra-coarse, 170 to 220 micron, porosity. Sizes range from 2.5 mL to 2800 mL, with disc diameters from 9 to 112 mm. Construction is low extractable 33 expansion borosilicate glass meeting USP Type I and ASTM E438, Type I, Class A requirements. Add it to your LIGHT LABS order alongside the rest of your glassware and closures.
