When you hear someone talking about magnetic stirrers and aren’t sure what exactly the device is, you should know that the device is actually known by several names, and the more commonly accepted one is a “hotplate stirrer.” The hotplate … Continue reading →

When it comes to laboratory stirrers, there are generally two types of devices you can use – you can either go with a mechanic stirrer, or a magnetic one. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, but when you’re using the … Continue reading →

Chemically polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene. It is hydrophobic in nature (that is, water hating). Therefore neither water nor water-containing substances wet PTFE. One more of its important characters that makes PTFE ideal for its use for … Continue reading →

Magnetic stirrers are widely used in the chemical and the biology laboratories for the purpose of mixing of a wide range of liquids. They mainly involve the usage of a magnetic bead which rapidly rotates over a fixed axis owing … Continue reading →

[Contd..] – Magnetic Mini Stirrers: These types of magnetic stirrers have an added advantage to the otherwise a little bulky forms used. They are compact Size devices that fit almost anywhere and are very handy in operation and movement. They … Continue reading →

[Contd..] The Heavy duty magnetic stirrers have very high resistance to all sorts of chemicals and also have a very large mixing capacity. As a result of this they are perfect for laboratory use as well as use in industrial … Continue reading →

So as to fit in any corner or any place the magnetic mini stirrers (color coded) are specially designed in a special round shape without any sharp corners. The most unique feature with this category of Stirrers is that they … Continue reading →

Large Volume Stirrers can stir 10 – 200 liters of liquid. They usually use PTFE magnetic Stirrers to facilitate the effective mixing of the large volumes of the liquid. The internal high strength aluminum frame and polypropylene platform (that offer … Continue reading →

The simplest form of the laboratory stirrers, that is, the glass rods are of different types and forms. They are also available in different diameters and lengths. Since the chemical mixture to be mixed or stirred are different in nature … Continue reading →

The laboratory stirrer glass rods are usually made of borosilicate. Borosilicate glasses are known for having very low coefficients of thermal expansion (which means that they have the minimum expansion on encounter with high temperature/heat unlike other materials). This also … Continue reading →
