1. Attach the thimbles to the adapters.
2. Weigh the sample into the thimbles, using the thimble support with the balance.
Place a defatted cotton plug on top of the sample.
3. Transfer the thimbles to the thimble stand, using the thimble handler. The thim-
ble is released when the handle is pressed. The thimble stand can be used for dry-
ing the samples.
5.4.8 Extraction
1. Place the thimbles in thimble supports attached to the holder. Use the thimble
support holder to insert the thimbles into the extraction unit. Alternatively insert
them by hand, using surgical gloves or other protection to avoid contamination
of the thimbles.
