Magnetic Stirrer

Magnet Stirrer Description

Magnetic stirrers are used frequently in chemistry and biology. They operate in hermetically sealed vessels and other closed systems without the need for complex rotary seals. They are preferred over instrument-driven mechanical stirrers. This preference is due to their quiet operation and the absence of external transferring parts that may break, except for the basic bar magnet.

Magnetic stir bars are suitable for glass vessels commonly used in chemical reactions. Glass does not materially affect the magnetic field. Their small size restricts the use of magnetic stirrers to experiments of 4 litres or less. They are less effective with viscous fluids or thick suspensions. For large volumes or especially viscous liquids, mechanical stirring is required.

Because of their small dimensions, stir bars are easier to clean and sterilise than other stirring devices. No lubricants are required, thereby minimising the risk of contaminating the reaction vessel and its contents. Magnetic stirrers might also include a heating plate or an alternative method for heating the liquid.
