Description
Magnetic stirring bars with PTFE coating, cylindrical form, length 20 mm and diameter 6 mm, are versatile laboratory consumables for continuous mixing on magnetic stirrers. Each unit features a magnet fully encapsulated in PTFE, giving a chemically robust outer layer that withstands routine contact with many reagents and simplifies cleaning between runs. The cylindrical shape encourages steady spin behaviour in common glassware, helping maintain homogeneous solutions, suspensions and reaction mixtures. Packaged as 30 pieces, the set supports high-throughput benches, shared instrument rooms and teaching labs that consume stirring bars regularly. Net weight is 0,010 kg per pack. These bars from manufacturer Labbox are specified for general use and work with conventional magnetic drive systems. At 20 mm length and 6 mm diameter they suit medium vessel sizes where a slightly longer profile improves mixing efficiency without occupying excessive volume. PTFE coating protects the core and limits sample carry-over, making the bars practical for research, quality control and preparative workflows that rely on dependable, easy-to-handle magnetic stirring elements.

Questions about Magnetic stirring bar, cylindrical, l 20 x diam. 6 mm, 30 pcs
What is this article?
Magnetic stirring bar, cylindrical, l 20 x diam. 6 mm, 30 pcs is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox for laboratory use. It sits in Magnetic stirring bars, inside Stirring, shaking & mixing, in Lab instruments.
A magnetic stirring bar is the magnet coated in PTFE that spins inside a vessel, driven by a stirrer underneath. Length and shape, plain, oval or cross, have to suit the flask. A bar left against a dry glass wall will grind it.
Stirring keeps a mixture uniform or helps a solid dissolve. A magnetic stirrer spins a bar inside a closed vessel. An overhead stirrer drives a shaft when the liquid is viscous or the volume is large. A vortex mixer agitates a tube. A shaker moves a whole rack or a plate. The shape of the impeller and the speed decide whether the liquid turns over or merely spins. The vessels being stirred are indexed under ISO laboratory glassware.
