Simple Yet Durable Mixing Platform Design
Anti-Slip, Low-Noise, and Vibration-Absorbing Base
Stepless Speed Control with USB Connectivity
Magnetic stirrers are widely used in scientific and industrial settings such as university labs, chemical engineering, biopharmaceuticals, and clinical laboratories. In research and education, they enable hands-free mixing for experiments and training. In chemical and pharmaceutical fields, magnetic hotplate stirrers offer precise control of temperature and speed, ideal for synthesis, titration, and reagent preparation. In clinical labs, they help maintain consistent stirring of diagnostic samples, ensuring accurate and repeatable results. These versatile tools enhance efficiency, consistency, and reliability across a range of applications.

Q1: What should I pay attention to when using this magnetic stirrer?
A1: When using this mini magnetic stirrer, especially with an Erlenmeyer flask, place the stir bar into the container before starting the unit. If the power suddenly stops during use, check whether the power cord or plug has come loose. If you notice unstable or off-centered stirring, adjust the clamp or support stand to align the stir rod correctly. Proper positioning ensures smooth operation and protects both the digital stirrer and your labware.
Q2: What is the difference between a magnetic stirrer and an overhead stirrer?
A2: The magnetic stirrer uses a rotating magnetic field to spin a stir bar inside the container, making it ideal for low- to medium-viscosity liquids and smaller volumes. In contrast, an overhead stirrer features a motorized shaft that directly agitates the solution, suitable for mixing high-viscosity materials or large volumes. Magnetic stirrers are compact, quiet, and convenient, while overhead stirrers provide higher torque and more robust mechanical mixing.
Q3: How long can a magnetic stirrer run?
A3: Most digital magnetic stirrers or mini lab stirrers are designed for continuous operation and can run for several hours or even overnight, depending on the model and application. However, it’s recommended to check the manufacturer’s guidelines for maximum runtime to prevent motor overheating. For extended use, ensure proper ventilation and avoid overloading the stir bar.
Tips: Why is my magnetic stirrer not stirring?
There are several reasons a magnetic stir plate might not stir effectively:
Ensure you're using compatible glassware (such as borosilicate glass) and properly positioning the vessel.
