Versatile Laboratory Stirring SolutionThis laboratory stirrer is built to accommodate a wide range of mixing applications. With its stainless steel shaft and stirring rod, it guarantees durability and resistance to common laboratory chemicals. The device supports volumes up to 5 liters and viscosities up to 50,000 mPas, making it suitable for handling most laboratory solutions. The compatibility with standard laboratory glassware enhances its utility in research, educational, and industrial environments.
User-Friendly Operation and Safety FeaturesThe stirrer is equipped with a brushless DC motor, offering reliable performance with low noise levels. Overload protection and a digital timer function ensure user safety, while analog display and variable speed control allow accurate adjustments. The powder-coated MS body provides an added layer of durability, ensuring long-lasting use under diverse laboratory conditions.
FAQs of Laboratory Stirrer:
Q: How do I operate the laboratory stirrer for optimal mixing results?
A: Set up the stirrer securely on a stable bench-top. Attach the laboratory vessel compatible with the device and insert the stainless steel shaft and stirring rod. Adjust the shaft height as needed, select the desired speed using the variable speed control, and use the digital timer if required for precise mixing durations.
Q: What types of laboratory glassware are compatible with this stirrer?
A: The stirrer is designed to work with standard laboratory glassware such as beakers, flasks, and other compatible containers, accommodating up to 5 liters of liquid for mixing, stirring, or blending purposes.
Q: When should I use the overload protection feature?
A: The overload protection is automatic and activates if the stirrer encounters excessive load or viscosity beyond its capability (maximum 50,000 mPas). This ensures the motor remains protected, and users are alerted to reduce the load for safe operation.
Q: Where can I install the stirrer in my laboratory setup?
A: This stirrer is intended for bench-top installation. Make sure to place it on a flat, stable surface near a 220V AC power outlet, and ensure adequate ventilation around the unit for safe operation within the specified temperature range (5C to 40C).
Q: What processes or applications is this laboratory stirrer most suitable for?
A: The stirrer is ideal for mixing, blending, and stirring all types of laboratory liquids, including viscous solutions and samples that require controlled agitation. Its often used in chemical, pharmaceutical, research, and educational laboratories.
Q: How does the digital timer benefit laboratory operations?
A: The built-in digital timer allows users to set precise mixing durations, enhancing repeatability and consistency in experiments. This feature reduces manual supervision and ensures reliable results, especially in protocols requiring exact timing.
Q: What maintenance is required to ensure the longevity of the stirrer?
A: Wipe the stainless steel shaft and body regularly to remove chemical residues. Check for secure fastening of the shaft before each use. The brushless DC motor requires minimal maintenance, but avoid excessive moisture and operate within rated conditions for optimal lifespan.
