Labgear part number LGU MSB1540/OV Oval shape Magnetic Stir bar is a laboratory equipment to create rotating magnetic field in liquid samples. They are also known as either egg, olive or elliptical shaped stirring bars.

Applications

• Chemical laboratory,
• Biological studies,
• Medical and research labs.

Features

• Egg shape creates more turbulence and a stronger vortex than a round, cylindrical or polygonal shape which ensures complete mixing,
• Teflon (PTFE-Polytetrafluoroethylene) casing is chemically inert, can be used with corrosive chemicals and helps to reduce friction and wear while spinning,
• Super-strong Alnico V magnets remain coupled to drive magnets—resisting spin out at high stirring speeds,
• One-piece coating of PTFE resists corrosion, heat, and cold, also ensures smooth spinning and maximum energy transfer,
• Chemically inert stir bars won't contaminate the liquid being stirred and are guaranteed to be leakproof,
• Particularly well suited for round bottom flasks,
• Does not require cleaning or sterilization after use,
• Offers minimal contact when used in plastic containers.
