Used to stir liquids or solutions in biological, chemical and research laboratory applications.
The stirring rod is placed in a container containing a liquid or solution. The container is located on a magnetic stirrer, and a rotating magnet or multiple fixed electromagnets are used to generate a rotating magnetic field.
The stirring rod is coated with PTFE, which is chemically inert.
It can be used with chemicals and also helps to reduce friction and wear during rotation.
Different shapes will produce different vortices to achieve efficient and effective stirring.
