    Cellulose Filters

    Johnson Test Papers offers an extensive range of cellulose extraction thimbles. They are available in a variety of dimensions and wall thicknesses for optimisation of retention, rigidity and wet or dry strength. Our thimbles are known for their purity and consistent high quality - made with 100% pure cotton linters fibres They are neutral and fat free and offer high mechanical strength and excellent retention capacity. Cellulose extraction thimbles are high quality sample reservoirs for quality control, research and analytical applications, where solvent extraction of solids and semi-solids must be carried out. They are suitable for all extraction systems but are widely used in Soxhlet extraction units and provide a safe, convenient and efficient method of extraction. Soxhlet extraction is a technique widely used for analysis of fats and pesticides in food and soil specimens and in many other procedures that involve a solid-liquid extraction. It provides a safe method of extraction with toxic and other noxious solvents. Our thimbles are also used in air and waste gas analysis, especially in cold stack air monitoring for collecting solid particles (dust).

    The high purity of the material gives reliable and reproducible analytical results. We offer you thimbles with very accurate dimensions for use in automatic extraction systems. The dimensions are matched exactly to those of the thimble holders to ensure optimum fit. We also offer cellulose thimbles specifically sized for all automated extraction apparatus currently available on the market. Thimble walls are approximately 1.5mm thick and have been found to perform satisfactorily in applications requiring either a single or double wall thickness.
