This particular type of stirrer is powered by magnetic bars, and it is ideal for use with common glass containers when carrying out a variety of chemical reactions. It's possible that a magnetic stirrer will also come with a hot plate, allowing you to heat samples while you stir them at the same time.

What are the prerequisites for your application?

Both the Volume and the Viscosity of the Liquid

 

Requirements Regarding Temperature as well as the Amount of Times It Is Employed

 

  • On the other hand, magnetic hotplate-stirrers are a better option for workrooms that routinely heat and stir samples

  • If this describes your environment, then you should look into purchasing one of these

  • Take careful note of how hot your solutions ought to be as well as the amount of power required to achieve the desired temperature

  • Hot plates can reach temperatures between 350 and 500 degrees Celsius, depending on whether they are made of metal or ceramic

  • If you need to heat your liquids in an even manner, you should look for hotplate stirrers that allow you to use heating blocks

  • You might also want to look for models that have a brushless stirrer motor because this type of motor is capable of providing consistent stirring as well as increased longevity



Temperatures greater than 300 degrees Celsius fall into Class B.

Needs and demands

It is essential to keep the temperature of your liquids at a constant rotations per minute. The majority of magnetic hotplate stirrer models have a minimum speed of approximately 1000 revolutions per minute (rpm), while more powerful models, such as the SCILOGEX EcoStir Magnetic Stirrer, have a maximum speed of up to 2,000 rpm. Units with a RPM ranging from 1000 to 15000 ought to be adequate for the majority of laboratories. Be sure to look through the SCILOGEX analog and digital hotplate stirrers if you need hotplate/stirrers that can provide speeds ranging from 0-1500 rpm or 100-1500 rpm.

Classification of the Experiment

Check out magnetic hotplate stirrers that can connect with pH probes if you are planning on conducting experiments in which you need to carefully monitor the pH levels of buffered systems. If your experiment requires adjustments to be made in the wee hours of the night, you can also get units that come with a remote control or have features that are pre-programmable.

You should consider purchasing heating blocks or water baths rather than hotplates or hotplate stirrers for applications that require temperatures that are very precise or that have a minimum variation from temperature to temperature.

Additional criteria to be considered

Surface Dimension: The maximum size of beaker that can be used with your magnetic stirrer is always going to be determined by the surface dimension of the unit. Use the Appropriately Sized Magnet Working with beakers of varying sizes necessitates the utilization of magnetic bars of varying dimensions. The diameter of the magnetic bar that you should use is typically 0.5 to 1.0 centimeters smaller than the diameter of the beaker that you are using.

What are the various kinds of magnetic stirrers that are available to be considered?

If all you need is an analog stirrer, you might want to take a look at the SCILOGEX FlatSpin Stirrer, which has automatic reverse rotation for optimal stirring; the SCILOGEX MS-PB Circular-top Analog Magnetic Stirrer, which comes with an ABS plate; or the SCILOGEX MS7-S 7x7 Analog Magnetic Stirrer, which has a ceramic-glass plate. All three of these models are available.

Are you interested in Digital Hotplates and Stirrers? Think about getting the CE Marking as well as the cTUVus approval. SCILOGEX MS7-h450-Pro 7x7 LCD Digital Hotplate Stirrer, SCILOGEX MS-H-Pro Plus Circular-top LCD Digital Hotplate Stirrer, or SCILOGEX MS-H280-Pro Circular-top LED Digital Hotplate Stirrers are all examples of digital hotplate stirrers.

Do you only have an interest in Digital Hotplates? Check out the SCILOGEX HP550-S LED Digital 7x7 Hotplate, which features an ambient temperature of 550C and a ceramic-glass hotplate.

Stirrers and Hotplates with Multiple Positions

Need hotplates and stirrers that can withstand chemicals and have multiple positions and brushless motors for long life? SCILOGEX provides the powerful MS-M-S16 Analog Magnetic Stirrer 16-Opinion for customers who require a device that can handle 16 solutions, each of which can have a sample volume of up to 400 ml. If you only need to work with a small number of solutions, the MS-M-S10 10-Place Analog Magnetic Stirrer is a good option for you because it can maintain consistent sample conditions across all 10 of the solutions.

Stirrers for use in cell cultures

The careful mixing of cell suspensions, microcarrier cultures, and culture broths is the primary purpose for which cell culture stirrers were originally developed. Cell culture stirrers are designed to stir the culture medium gently while minimizing the risk of shearing the cells. This results in increased cell yields. In addition to this, they have a low heat output, which protects sensitive cell or tissue cultures. As a result, they are appropriate for use in incubators as well as cold rooms.
