Milwaukee Magnetic Stirrer – Description:
When performing pH and dissolved oxygen measurements, the sample being tested should be stirred. The use of a magnetic stirrer allows for proper mixing and the sample to be homogeneous in consistency and temperature. The stirring of the sample also helps speed up the response time of a sensor in achieving a stable reading.
Compact Design with Chemical Resistant Housing
· The MI0040 is less than 5.5” in diameter and 2” in height.
· The housing is made of ABS plastic and is resistant to common chemicals used in the lab.
Precise Speed Control & Power Indicator
To control the speed from changes in viscosity or removing of the load, the MI0040 magnetic stirrer incorporates an optical control mechanism. As the speed reaches a preset maximum level, the speed limiter shuts down the VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) to slow down the motor speed. This ensures that when the load is suddenly removed from the stirrer, the motor will not accelerate to such a high speed that will be hazardous to the stirrer; a feature not commonly found in conventional stirrers.
Speed Control
· The speed of the stirrer can be adjusted, using the dial on front, from 100 rpm to 1000 rpm.
· Stirrer has an optical feedback mechanism to adjust speed, whether from changes in viscosity or removal of the beaker/flask.
Visual Power Indicator and Fuse Protected
· An LED on the front of the stirrer signals that there is power to the stirrer.
· The stirrer is fuse protected with a replaceable 400 mA / 250V fuse.
