The Magnetic Stirrers and Hotplates for Labs category covers equipment and consumables used to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. These products are not isolated purchases, because their performance is tied to the sample, surrounding equipment and the way the wider method is carried out. A practical point for this category is that heidolph and Grant offer professional laboratory-grade hotplates with chemically resistant top plates, designed to withstand the accidental spills and corrosive vapours common in research environments.
Mixing efficiency depends on vessel geometry, viscosity, volume, speed range and the way energy is transferred into the sample. The practical choice therefore depends on viscosity, speed or shaking range, vessel geometry, and temperature control, as well as how frequently the product will be used and how it connects with the rest of the procedure.
A reliable setup matches the mixing principle and accessory to the vessel, sample properties, temperature requirements and run time. Looking at the full sequence makes it easier to identify the correct accessories and consumables before the equipment is put into service in chemistry, life science, pharmaceutical, food, environmental and teaching laboratories. As part of the Laboratory Stirring, Shaking and Mixing range, these products can be selected with the equipment and consumables used before and after this stage.
Our Magnetic Stirrers and Hotplates for Labs Range
Our collection covers the main product groups used to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion, from magnetic stir bars through to motorised magnetic stirrers.
Magnetic Stir Bars for Labs
The Magnetic Stir Bars for Labs range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. Start with the application and sample, then compare speed or shaking range, vessel geometry, temperature control, and mixing accessory.
Magnetic Stirrers with Heating and Induction
The Magnetic Stirrers with Heating and Induction range brings together products designed to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. Start with the application and sample, then compare mixing accessory, sample volume, viscosity, and speed or shaking range.
Magnetic Stirrers with Heating and Motor
The Magnetic Stirrers with Heating and Motor range supports laboratories that need to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. Support rods (e.g., IKA H 16 V) allow for the secure mounting of temperature sensors and other accessories directly over the reaction vessel for accurate monitoring.
Cable-Free Magnetic Stirrers for Labs
The Cable-Free Magnetic Stirrers for Labs range brings together products designed to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. The Topolino Mobil is exceptionally compact and lightweight, making it the ideal choice for scientists who need a reliable magnetic stirrer for mobile or remote laboratory work.
Induction Magnetic Stirrers for Labs
The Induction Magnetic Stirrers for Labs range supports laboratories that need to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. Models with "Internal Control" have integrated electronics to manage speed and power directly, whereas "External Control" models allow for centralized management via a separate control unit.
Motorized Magnetic Stirrers for Labs
The Motorized Magnetic Stirrers for Labs range includes instruments, accessories and consumables used to blend, suspend, dissolve, aerate or maintain samples under controlled motion. Motorized stirrers use an internal motor and a rotating magnet to drive the stir bar, whereas inductive stirrers use stationary coils to create a rotating magnetic field with no moving parts.
