Excellent Chemical Resistance and DurabilityConstructed from virgin PTFE-coated Alnico V magnets, this micro magnetic stirrer bar is impervious to aggressive chemicals such as acids, bases, and solvents. The robust PTFE encapsulation not only ensures long-lasting performance but also grants the bar non-stick and easy-to-clean properties. Its structure resists wear and maintains integrity even after multiple sterilization cycles, making it a reliable companion for demanding laboratory environments.
Versatile Applications in Micro-Volume MixingIdeal for laboratory professionals handling small-volume liquid samples, the micro magnetic stirrer bar delivers efficient, uniform mixing in microflasks, vials, and test tubes. Its compact dimensions (ranging from 8mm to 25mm in length) and choice of shapes allow for versatile use across various glassware, ensuring optimal results even in minimal sample volumes. The PTFE coating permits use across a wide temperature range and in diverse research scenarios.
FAQ's of Micro Magnetic Stirrer Bar, PTFE / ALNICO V MAGNET:
Q: How do you use the Micro Magnetic Stirrer Bar in laboratory mixing applications?
A: Simply place the stirrer bar into your container (such as a test tube or microflask), then position the vessel on a compatible magnetic stirrer device. The bar will rotate smoothly to mix liquids when the device is activated.
Q: What types of chemicals can this stirrer bar resist without degradation?
A: Thanks to its virgin PTFE coating, the stirrer bar offers excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, including strong acids, bases, and organic solvents, ensuring long-term durability in harsh environments.
Q: When is it recommended to sterilize the stirrer bar, and by what methods?
A: Sterilization is advisable before and after use to prevent cross-contamination. Suitable methods include steam autoclaving up to 121C, dry heat, or immersion in chemical sterilants, as the bar is compatible with all these processes.
Q: Where can the micro magnetic stirrer bar be used most effectively?
A: It is ideally suited for mixing micro and small-volume liquid samples in laboratory glassware-including test tubes, vials, and microflasks-especially in research, pharmaceuticals, and diagnostic labs.
Q: What are the benefits of the PTFE coating on this stirrer bar?
A: The PTFE coating provides a non-stick, chemically inert surface that resists staining and buildup, making the bar easy to clean and extremely durable in both routine and demanding laboratory applications.
Q: What shapes and sizes are available to suit different laboratory needs?
A: The stirrer bar comes in cylindrical, octagonal, and capsule shapes, with typical lengths between 8mm and 25mm and diameters from 3mm to 6mm, supporting a wide variety of vessels and stirring requirements.
