Magnetic stirrers are more sophisticated than ever. Some models offer a light as a visual warning to prevent lab workers from getting accidental burns. A “HOT PLATE” warning signal remains illuminated while the temperature is on and will flash if the stirrer is turned off—until the plate drops below 50°C. Some include a braking feature b2ap3_thumbnail_MagneticStirrer.gifthat brings the stir bar to a stop for quick flask removal.

With these safety features, magnetic stirrers are even more lab-friendly. Yet, their key functionality is spinning or stirring the solution via the stir bar. Chemists and biologists rely on the efficiency of these stirrers to create homogenous samples.

To keep magnetic stirrers up to speed, professional calibration may be necessary. Check your manufacturers’ instructions for calibration recommendations and intervals.

Once your magnetic stirrers arrive in InnoCal’s ISO17025-accredited calibration lab, we’ll review your instructions, calibrate them as requested, and return them with a NIST-traceable certificate.
