Read MoreHow Programming Software Enhances Hotplate Magnet Stirrer Functionality
“Set and forget” features are welcomed by busy researchers operating a variety of equipment in the lab, among which are magnetic hotplate stirrers that may require frequent monitoring. Here we will describe how programming software, exemplified by CAT “Shake and Stir,” helps enhance hotplate stirrer functionality. We’ll cover Where CAT’s Shake and Stir software is…
Read MoreHow to Safely Operate Hotplate Magnetic Stirrers
A common laboratory instrument for mixing samples at high temperatures is the hotplate magnetic stirrer. These benchtop units can handle samples up to 10 liters (2.5 gallons) allowing researchers to develop processing techniques at high temperatures. Depending on models, hotplate magnetic stirrers can be set up to 450⁰C or 842⁰F. Quite obviously these high temperatures…

Since its original design in 1917, magnetic stirrers have altered the efficiency and productivity of laboratories throughout the world. These compact benchtop units streamline production while simultaneously delivering a more sterile, accurate and efficient outcome to both simple and complex solutions.
Read MoreHow to Shop for an Overhead Stirrer
Stirring is a common activity in research labs as scientists work to refine processing procedures. Two of the most common techniques are magnetic stirring with or without a hotplate, and overhead stirrers. Benchtop overhead stirrers are not equipped with hotplates. But unlike magnetic stirrers they are able to process larger volume samples and samples with…
