Magnetic stirrers are often used in chemistry and biology. They are preferred over gear-driven motorized stirrers because they are quieter, more efficient, and have no moving external parts to break or wear out (other than the simple bar magnet itself). Because of its small size, a stirring bar is more easily cleaned and sterilized than other stirring devices.
They do not require lubricants which could contaminate the reaction vessel and the product. They can be used inside hermetically closed vessels or systems, without the need for complicated rotary seals. Magnetic stirrers may also include a hot plate or some other means for heating the liquid.
Conventional hotplates are used for heating only, while combination stirring hot plates are able to simultaneously heat and mix. Infrared hotplates are an energy efficient alternative to conventional and combination stirring hotplates. Hotplate accessories such as temperature probes, external digital displays, and heating blocks can be combined with compatible hotplates.
A range of hotplates from basic to specialty, to suit any lab’s needs. Choose from ceramic or aluminum surface types and multiple plate shapes and sizes.
From our most basic stirring design to explosion-proof stirring hotplates for hazardous applications, our stirring hotplates provide precise control and repeatability to meet your application needs.
With the reliability, safety, and performance for demanding cell culture applications, our stirrer portfolio will offer you a solution for all your laboratory needs.

A magnetic stirrer is an electronic instrument that uses a magnetic field to mix one or more solutes with a solvent in an automated way. This equipment has the ability to heat chemical solutions, it also minimizes the risk of a solution being altered, since generally when the solutions are stirred manually they tend to become contaminated.
The different models of agitators, rockers and rotators are designed to house tubes, microplates, flasks for cell cultures, jars or similar containers. The miniagitators are small and save space; Other agitators, rockers and rotators are the size of a standard table, although some are independent and stackable. Other models are resistant to moisture or CO2 and are designed specifically for operation within refrigerators, incubators or other controlled closed containers.
