Key Components of Magnetic Stirrers

What is a Magnetic Stirrer? Dating from 1917 magnetic stirrers have evolved and been perfected over the years to perform critical mixing functions in the research lab when low-viscosity liquids are being processed in beakers and flasks to 10 liters in capacity. We at CAT Scientific call magnetic stirrers the unsung hero of your laboratory thanks to…

How Microprocessors Improve CAT Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer Performance

Hotplate magnetic stirrers perform mixing cycles that can reach temperatures as high as 450⁰C (840⁰F). Accidents or malfunctions at these temperatures can result in significant problems – including burns to lab personnel and damage to adjacent equipment. In this post you will understand how microprocessors contribute to processing accuracy and safety in CAT hotplate magnetic…

The Thickness of Innovation – Magnetic Stirrers and Liquid Viscosity

At the heart of any experiment or processing procedure is the simple act of mixing. Although one may not believe the act of stirring is a paramount element to experiment success, improper mixing eliminates the possibility of accurate processing. For decades, laboratory personnel were required to spend hours manually stirring solutions. However, thanks to the…
