What is a Stirrer?

A stirrer is a device for stirring a solution, and generally refers to a magnetic stirrer that changes the magnetic force of the device itself and rotates the stirrer placed in the solution on the device. There are various types of stirrers, and it is necessary to select the appropriate device according to the experimental conditions, such as the shape and size of the containers used for the experiment, such as test tubes, flasks, and beakers, and the viscosity of the solution. In addition to the stirrer body, stirrers come in a variety of shapes and materials. When selecting a stirrer, it is necessary to select an appropriate one based on the presence or absence of precipitates in the solution, the need to suppress contamination during stirring, the viscosity of the solution, and the shape of the container.

Application of Stirrer

A stirrer is a device for stirring various solutions such as water and organic solvents. There are two types of stirrers: "magnetic stirrer" and "magnetic stirrer that stirs with a stirring blade connected to the device body." Here we will focus on "magnetic stirrers". Stirrers are used to stir solutions in various devices such as test tubes, beakers, and flasks, depending on the device and type, and are used in a wide range of experiments centered on chemistry and biology. Multi-series stirrers allow you to stir multiple samples with one device, and stirrers integrated with hot plates allow for heating during stirring.
