Multiposition Stirrers

 

Hotplate stirrers operating via a rotating magnet to spin a stirrer bar contained in a vessel seated on top of the hotplate have been used in chemical and biological laboratories for many years. This type of hotplate/stirrer allows a reaction to be simultaneously heated and stirred, reducing the possibility of the solution ‘bumping’ due to the accumulation of hot-spots, and relieving the researcher of the burden of having to return frequently to the reaction to stir the solution manually. Constant stirring may also help to accelerate certain types of reaction. This type of stirrer hotplate can even be left operating overnight for systems requiring longer reaction times.

Scilogex manufacturers a comprehensive range of well-designed, robust, and controllable magnetic hotplate/stirrers, including digital and analog systems. The quality of our hotplate/stirrer instruments is underlined by the fact that we offer a full 2-year warranty on all models, regardless of the amount of wear and tear that they receive. Multiposition stirrers and hotplate stirrers are an extremely valuable addition to the standard range of hotplate/stirrers.

 

Scilogex offers a simple multiposition stirrer that simultaneously stirs up to 10 solutions at room temperature, as well as a multiposition heater/stirrer that heats as well as stirs. The simultaneous stirring, and heating if required, of up to 10 solutions on one unit ensures that the reaction conditions are completely consistent across all individual samples. The stirrer surface of the Scilogex multiposition stirrer/hotplates incorporates an anti-slip mat to guard against spillages, although it is both chemically resistant and easy to clean in case an accident does occur. All our hotplates and stirrers are also supplied with a long-life brushless motor which ensures not only the longevity of the instrument but also reduces the need for regular maintenance.

There can be few laboratory processes as apparently simple and yet as essential as the stirring of a solution. The vast majority of preparative and analytical procedures in chemical, biochemical and biological laboratories rely on effective mixing in solution at some stage in the process.
