Stir Bar Selection Guide
Mixing low viscosity liquids with a hotplate stirrer is a convenient option. However, while using a magnetic stirrer requires only a simple set up, there are a lot of factors to consider when choosing a stir bar for your experiment in order to ensure efficient mixing. Our selection guide will help you answer some common questions so you can choose the appropriate bar for your needs.
Heat Safely
High temperatures are often experienced during laboratory work with magnetic stirrers. This is precisely where special safety precautions are required. IKA's safety concept Integrated safety protects the sample, laboratory, and the user, ensuring a successful outcome for your experiment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best laboratory hotplate stirrer?
Selecting the perfect hotplate stirrer for your applications from the thousands of models available can be overwhelming.
Why should you use an external temperature sensor?
A probe that is placed within your sample shows you the actual sample temperature. Without a probe, the unit will show the plate temperature that may differ from the sample temperature.
How can I reduce overshoot?
To minimise overshoot use a metal container instead of glass. Set your target temperature lower than necessary and increase it once it is stable.
