Crystal offers unique stirrers designed to optimize the performance of the Stirrer.
Ceramic-top magnetic stirrer — recommended for chemically aggressive, precision, and visual work, typical applications include:
- Corrosive chemicals (acids, bases, solvents that may splash)
- Analytical chemistry (e.g., titrations, color-change reactions)
- Biological / microbiology work
- Glassware-only heating (beakers, flasks)
Aluminum-top magnetic stirrer — recommended for durability, uniform heating, and heavy-duty use, typical applications include:
- General chemistry / routine mixing
- High-throughput labs (multiple samples, larger volumes)
- Heating metal vessels (e.g., steel beakers)
Processes needing uniform temperature across the plate
- Orbital
- Reciprocal
- Vibration
Gentle acceleration and deceleration help to:
- Prevent splashing and sample loss
- Protect sensitive biological samples
- Keep containers secure on the platform
- Improve mixing consistency and reproducibility
- Reduce mechanical wear and extend equipment lifespan
The following models MS-04BSUA, MS-06BSUA and MS-15BSUA each have a sealed stainless-steel platform that prevents water intrusion and are waterproof protection rated to IP68. The remote control is rated IP21 and must be used outside the water bath.
The OSC-26M features a magnetic drive system and a sealed stainless-steel body which protects against CO2 and high humidity, has a long service life, quiet operation and minimal heat output to maintain stable incubator conditions.
- Supported tube sizes: 1.5 mL, 2 mL, 5 mL, 7 mL, 10 mL, 50 mL
- Also compatible with: Culture tubes (14 mm & 18.5 mm diameter)
