Extraction Thimbles

Extraction thimbles are porous cylindrical holders that contain a solid sample during Soxhlet extraction, letting solvent pass through while retaining the matrix. Food, feed, environmental and polymer laboratories use extraction thimbles for fat and extractable content determinations.

All 86 listings are from Macherey-Nagel. The MN 645 series is the core of the range, supplied in packs of 25 across formats specified by inner diameter and height such as 8 x 40 mm, 9 x 50 mm, 15 x 50 mm and 15 x 100 mm, with further sizes listed for larger extractors.

Select the thimble to fit the extractor body and the sample volume, allowing headroom above the sample, and check that the material suits the solvent and temperature used. Lancetech Limited supplies Macherey-Nagel extraction thimbles to UK laboratories and will quote on bulk quantities.
