Description
Magnetic stirring bars with PTFE coating in a flat profile, length 40 mm and diameter 8 mm, support reliable mixing in laboratory vessels of moderate volume. Supplied in a convenient pack of 5 pieces, these flat stirrers are suited to general laboratory use comparable to cylindrical magnetic stirring bars, while generating less turbulence at low speeds. The chemically resistant PTFE coating protects the internal magnet and maintains compatibility with a wide range of aqueous and organic solutions used in analytical, preparative and teaching workflows. The elongated flat form factor improves magnetic coupling and delivers steady agitation with reduced vortexing when gentle mixing is required. They are appropriate for beakers, flasks and similar glassware on magnetic stirrers and hotplate stirrers for dissolution, suspension and homogenisation tasks. These bars from manufacturer Labbox offer a durable PTFE surface in a compact pack size for focused applications or smaller inventories. Net weight of the pack is 0,050 kg. Straightforward cleaning and repeated use under normal laboratory conditions make them a practical choice for everyday stirring work.

Questions about Magnetic stirring bar, plain, l 40 x diam. 8 mm, 5 pcs
What is this article?
Magnetic stirring bar, plain, l 40 x diam. 8 mm, 5 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.
