Description :

Cell Magnetic Stirring Bars for 10mm Cuvettes or Spectrophotometer Cells Cell magnetic stirring bars are specialized laboratory tools designed to provide efficient mixing within 10mm cuvettes or spectrophotometer cells. These stirring bars are essential for ensuring homogenous mixing of samples, which is critical for accurate and reliable spectrophotometric measurements. Here’s an in-depth look at their features, applications, and benefits: Design and Shape Slim Profile: The cell magnetic stirring bars are designed with a slim profile to fit perfectly within the narrow confines of 10mm cuvettes and spectrophotometer cells. This ensures efficient mixing without interfering with the optical path. Smooth Surface: The smooth surface minimizes friction and allows for efficient rotation, promoting uniform mixing of the sample without damaging the cuvette or the cell. Applications Spectrophotometry: Cell magnetic stirring bars are ideal for use in spectrophotometric analysis, where precise and thorough mixing of the sample within the cuvette is crucial for accurate absorbance or transmission measurements. Chemical Analysis: Used in chemical analysis to mix reagents and samples in 10mm cuvettes, ensuring homogeneity and accurate analytical results. Biological Assays: Suitable for mixing biological samples, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and other biomolecules, within spectrophotometer cells for consistent and reliable assay results. Environmental Testing: Used in environmental testing laboratories to mix samples and reagents in cuvettes for water quality analysis and other tests. Pharmaceutical Research: Employed in pharmaceutical research for mixing small volumes of drug formulations or testing solutions in cuvettes or spectrophotometer cells. Benefits Efficient Mixing: The slim profile and smooth surface of the cell magnetic stirring bars ensure efficient and thorough mixing within the confined space of 10mm cuvettes, promoting uniformity and accuracy in measurements. Chemical Resistance: The PTFE coating provides excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals, ensuring the stirring bar can be used safely with various substances. Durability: The robust magnetic core and durable PTFE coating ensure long-lasting performance, even under continuous use in harsh conditions. Minimized Interference: Designed to fit within the optical path of the spectrophotometer without interfering with the light transmission, ensuring accurate spectrophotometric readings. Versatility: Suitable for use in various applications requiring precise mixing in small volumes, making them versatile tools for different laboratory applications. Tips for Use Magnetic Stirrer Compatibility: Ensure the magnetic stirrer used is compatible with the small size of the cell magnetic stirring bar to achieve optimal performance. Some magnetic stirrers are specifically designed for micro-scale mixing. Appropriate Vessel: Use cell magnetic stirring bars in 10mm cuvettes or spectrophotometer cells to ensure effective mixing. The shape and size of the vessel should complement the stirring bar. Cleaning and Maintenance: Regularly clean the stirring bars to remove any residues and maintain their chemical resistance and performance. PTFE-coated bars can usually be cleaned with mild detergents and rinsed thoroughly with water. Comparison with Other Shapes Standard Cylindrical Bars: Standard cylindrical bars are too large for 10mm cuvettes and do not provide the precise mixing required for spectrophotometric applications. Micro Stirring Bars: While micro stirring bars are designed for small volumes, cell magnetic stirring bars are specifically tailored for use in cuvettes and spectrophotometer cells, ensuring minimal interference with the optical path. Triangular Bars: Triangular bars generate strong turbulence and are suitable for larger volumes with sediments, while cell magnetic stirring bars are designed for precise mixing in the confined space of cuvettes. Summary Cell magnetic stirring bars are essential tools for laboratories that use 10mm cuvettes or spectrophotometer cells. Their slim profile and specialized design ensure efficient and thorough mixing within these small vessels, making them suitable for a wide range of applications in spectrophotometry, chemical analysis, biological assays, environmental testing, and pharmaceutical research. The combination of a strong magnetic core and durable PTFE coating ensures long-lasting performance and excellent chemical resistance, making these stirring bars a valuable addition to any laboratory. 1 Alnico V magnets are composed primarily of aluminum (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), along with small amounts of other elements such as copper (Cu) and titanium (Ti). The composition typically consists of approximately 9% aluminum, 24% nickel, 13% cobalt, 3% copper, and 1% titanium, with the remainder being iron (Fe). The exact composition may vary from batch to batch. Alnico V magnets are known for their strong magnetic properties and high resistance to demagnetization. CARE INSTRUCTIONS To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of magnetic stirring bars, it's essential to handle and maintain them properly: Cleaning: Regularly clean the stirring bars after each use to prevent buildup of residue or contamination. Use a suitable cleaning agent and rinse thoroughly with distilled water. Storage: Store stirring bars away from strong magnetic fields and corrosive chemicals. Store them in a dry and clean environment to prevent damage. Handling: Handle stirring bars with care to avoid chipping or breaking. Avoid dropping or banging them against hard surfaces. Compatibility: Ensure that the stirring bars are compatible with the solvent or solution being stirred. Some chemicals can react with or damage certain types of stirring bars. Usage: Use stirring bars within their specified temperature and chemical compatibility limits. Avoid overheating or exposing them to harsh chemicals. Maintenance: Inspect stirring bars regularly for signs of damage or wear. Replace any damaged or worn bars to maintain optimal performance. Following these care guidelines can help prolong the life of your magnetic stirring bars and ensure they perform effectively in your laboratory applications.
