Magnetic Stirrer Spin Bar | White, Teflon Coated, 1″ x 5/16″
Description
The Magnetic Stirrer Spin Bar [PN: T-16-101] is a Teflon coated stir bar that is available either individually or in sets. The silhouette has a central pivot ring that ensures efficient spinning, even on curved or uneven bases. They are coated magnets used to stir liquids in a sealed container. It is encased in a material that won’t react with the fluid it is immersed in.
They can stir fluids without requiring an opening in the container. They are a popular way of stirring liquids in modestly sized containers. The magnet is placed within a container and made to spin with an external magnetic field. Typically, this is produced by a stir-plate, which has another magnet rotating underneath the container.
The advantage of this setup is that the liquid can get stirred without having something stick into the container, thus allowing for the container to be completely sealed. Without a spinning shaft sticking into the container, there are no concerns about leaks or lubricants contaminating the solution.
Typically used in chemistry and biology research, especially in medicine. Home brewers also often use them to help make a yeast starter.
