How to Verify Lab Stirring Temperatures

Establishing optimum temperatures to first develop then commercialize new products in the research lab should not be left to chance.  Because stirring is often involved in developing new products researchers depend on an accurate means of determining the optimum processing temperature. This post describes how to accurately verify lab stirring temperatures. A Common Example of…
