What are Laboratory Magnetic and Overhead Stirrers?

Laboratory magnetic stirrers use a rotating magnetic field to stir solutions. This setup ensures uniform mixing without direct contact with the sample, minimizing contamination risks. Overhead stirrers utilize powerful motors to mix viscous solutions and larger volumes, making them suitable for applications requiring robust mixing capabilities.

Applications of Laboratory Magnetic and Overhead Stirrers

Magnetic stirrers are suitable for mixing low-viscosity liquids, dissolving solids, and maintaining homogeneity in solutions. Overhead stirrers are effective in handling high-viscosity materials, emulsions, and suspensions, making them appropriate for polymer synthesis, chemical reactions, and sample preparation in life sciences.
