Labgear part number LGU MSB2060/OV is an oval shape PTFE coated magnetic stir bar used with a laboratory stirrer creating a rotating magnetic field under a liquid sample, typically in a round bottom flask.  These are also known as egg, olive and elliptical shaped stirring bars.

Applications

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

Features

• Oval shape creates more turbulence and a stronger vortex than a round, cylindrical or polygonal shape to ensure complete mixing,
• PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene or Teflon) 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 to resist spin-out at high stirring speeds,
• One-piece coating of PTFE resists corrosion, heat, cold and 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.

Specifications

• Magnet material: Alnico,
• Diameter: 20 mm,
• Length: 60 mm,
• Weight: 0.4 ounces,
• Max. working temperature: 280°C (400°F).

Also known as LGU MSB2060OV, and similar to Fisher Catalog No. 14-513-55, Aldrich No. Z115312 Spinbar^® and Cole-Parmer No. UX-04768-65.
