Ratek MS Series Magnetic Stirrer Descriptions

 

Applications for Magnetic Stirrers

Applications encompass dissolving solid materials in liquid media, agitation of volatile solutions, and various microbiology and biochemistry procedures requiring either gentle stirring or intensive mixing action.

Ratek MS8 Compact Magnetic Stirrer Description:

The Ratek MS8 Compact Magnetic Stirrer is engineered for precision stirring applications in smaller laboratory containers up to approximately 2 litres, making it ideal for routine analytical and research work. Featuring a stainless steel case with powder-coated finish, the MS8 provides excellent resistance to chemical spills while remaining easy to clean and maintain in demanding laboratory environments. The unit incorporates a powerful rare earth magnet that ensures strong magnetic coupling with stir bars, delivering reliable stirring performance even with challenging samples or varying viscosities.

At the heart of the MS8 lies a powerful Swiss-made motor capable of driving containers up to 2 litres at speeds reaching 2,400 RPM, outperforming many solid-state competitors in its class. The smooth analogue speed control via an intuitive front panel knob provides precise speed adjustment, while the low-voltage DC motor operates with exceptional quietness even at maximum speed. The included non-slip nitrile rubber mat ensures flasks are held securely in place during mixing operations, providing stability and safety throughout extended stirring procedures. This combination of powerful performance, quiet operation, and robust construction makes the MS8 an essential tool for laboratories requiring dependable magnetic stirring capabilities for smaller volume applications.

Ratek MS10 Large Magnetic Stirrer Description:

The Ratek MS10 Large Magnetic Stirrer is specifically engineered for high-capacity stirring applications, designed to accommodate flasks and bottles up to 20 litres with exceptional performance and reliability. This robust unit features a stainless steel case with powder-coated finish that provides superior resistance to chemical spills while remaining easily wipeable for convenient maintenance in demanding laboratory environments. The MS10 incorporates a high-torque DC motor that delivers more than sufficient power to mix thicker solutions, making it an indispensable tool for every laboratory workstation requiring heavy-duty stirring capabilities.

Built for larger applications requiring powerful stirring, the MS10 excels at mixing viscous liquids and handling substantial sample volumes through its proven design and advanced engineering. The unit features a generous 310mm platform that provides ample space for large containers, while smooth solid-state analogue speed control operates up to 1900 RPM with quiet operation throughout the entire speed range. The powerful rare earth magnet system ensures strong magnetic coupling with stir bars even in challenging applications, while the included non-slip nitrile rubber mat secures flasks in place during extended mixing operations. This combination of high-capacity performance, precise speed control, and robust construction makes the MS10 the ideal choice for laboratories requiring dependable magnetic stirring of larger volumes and more demanding applications.

  • Powerful rare earth magnet for strong connection
  • Suitable for flasks <2 litres
  • Variable speed control
  • Low-voltage DC motor
  • Quiet operation
