Overview
Laboratories often require more than simple stirring functionality. Many applications benefit from programmable operation, precise speed adjustment, and repeatable mixing conditions. The Vertex Analytical Magnetic Stirrer Advanced range addresses these requirements through a combination of digital controls, programme storage, and bidirectional stirring capabilities.
Available as the MS-2Max, MS-5Max, and MS-10Max models, the range accommodates sample volumes from small laboratory preparations through to larger benchtop mixing tasks. As a result, users can select a model that matches their workflow requirements without paying for unnecessary capacity.
The integrated digital control system allows operators to monitor speed and time settings while maintaining accurate process control throughout mixing procedures.
Programmable Operation
This programmable magnetic stirrer can store up to nine user-defined programmes. Therefore, laboratories can save frequently used stirring protocols and quickly recall them when required. Each programme can include customised speed and timer settings. Consequently, operators can achieve greater consistency between batches and reduce manual setup time.Bidirectional Stirring
The system supports both clockwise and counterclockwise rotation. With a simple button press, users can reverse stirring direction during operation. This feature helps improve liquid circulation and can assist with achieving more uniform mixing in certain applications.Precise Digital Control
The magnetic stirrer with digital display allows users to set stirring speed accurately through a combination of buttons and rotary controls. Speed adjustment increments of 5 rpm provide fine control over mixing conditions. Furthermore, the digital display enables easy monitoring of operating parameters during use.Multiple Capacity Options
The flexibility of this magnetic stirrer allows laboratories to match equipment specifications to their application requirements. The Magnetic Stirrer Advanced range is available in three capacities:- MS-2Max: Up to 2 litres
- MS-5Max: Up to 5 litres
- MS-10Max: Up to 10 litres
Brushless Motor System
The brushless motor design supports smooth operation while reducing maintenance requirements. In addition, the motor delivers stable stirring performance across the available speed range.Applications
