Product Description

hand, stir bar

Stir Bar Features

  • Made with PTFE material
  • Hydrophobic, high corrosion resistance, and very non reactive
  • Easy to clean
  • Octagon shaped with pivot ring or smooth with single ridge
  • Works with most magnetic stir plates

Stir Bar Tips

  • Proper speed is critical. Slowly increase your stir plate speed to find the stir bar's optimal performance. Turning the speed control up too fast can 'throw' the stir bar or might not spin it at all.
  • Depending on your stir plate's magnet strength and the container you use, it may take a few tries to find the perfect working position.
  • Check your stir plate specifications on optimal stir bar size. You may need to change sizes if you can't get the desired performance.
  • Stir bar magnets are delicate. Dropping one could degrade the magnet's strength or the resiliency of the soft PTFE plastic.

First test - anything above 25% speed and they fly off. You have to approach the speed very slowly. Over night - it still flies off. Reduced to 20 then 15% .. and at 15% power it is stable - but cant mix the fluid.

These are well made and larger than I imagined, even knowing the dimensions! I purchased the INTLLAB magnetic stirrer, which works very well, and also purchased these bars. I didn't understand at the time that the length needs to be close to the length between the centers of the magnets in the stirrer, but that information isn't provided by the seller. These work a little bit, but only at a very specific slow speed. When the speed was increased, they broke the magnetic bond and rattled around. INTLLAB included a 25mm x 7mm bar that works great up to full speed! It was my fault for not understanding.

Used for 4 liter yeast starters. This is really nice. Whirlpool down 4-5 inches and allows me to run full power. One seems to be a little off balance but usable. The other 2 are perfect.

The ridge in the center makes these rattle against the container, they also are very inconsistent and lose their magnetic field constantly.And the seller includes some weird packaging with them, some creepy business card talking about Unobtanium. I cringed and wanted to send them back when I saw that.

These mix the liquid faster and with less noise than the shorter bars I've used. Not unbalanced as one reviewer said, it often depends on how centered the bars are on the magnetic stirring plate (particularly home-made plates).

Far less friction than other stir bars. Easier on the stir plate motor and less heat build up too. I make a lot of yeast starters and these are my choice.

They do the job pretty well.

These work great. I use them in a 5L erlenmeyer flask for making yeast starters (homebrewing).
