What is a magnetic stirrer used for in a laboratory? A magnetic stirrer uses a rotating magnetic field to drive a small magnetic stir bar placed inside a container. This provides automated, consistent, and hands-free mixing of liquids, buffers, and reagents without the contamination risks associated with external mechanical stirring shafts.
What size glassware fits on a 4x4 magnetic stirrer? A 4x4 inch top plate is specifically designed for small-volume mixing. It is ideal for securely holding small beakers, Erlenmeyer flasks, and reagent bottles, typically ranging from 50 mL up to 500 mL in volume.
Why choose an analog magnetic stirrer over a digital one? Analog magnetic stirrers, like the Sargent Welch S 76491-10, are highly valued in teaching labs and QA/QC environments for their durability and simplicity. They feature straightforward dial controls that allow for quick, intuitive speed adjustments with fewer electronic components that could fail over time.
HiTechTrader offers the pre-owned Sargent Welch 4 × 4 Magnetic Stirrer (Model S 76491-10) as a dependable mixing solution for laboratory environments requiring compact and reliable stirring equipment.
Whether you need a replacement stirrer for an existing workstation or an additional mixing station for a busy lab, this unit provides consistent performance in a convenient benchtop format.
