What to consider and what to watch out for

Written byOHAUS andLab Manager

Stirrers serve an essential role in the lab. Whether preparing solutions or performing titrations, stirrers facilitate effective mixing of chemical and reagents. Heated stirrers or hot plates serve to accelerate the mixing process or raise solids above their melting point to enable certain applications. Overhead stirrers are useful for viscous liquids that require powerful and controlled mixing.
