Octagonal shape creates more turbulence and a stronger vortex than a round, cylindrical shape or a polygonal shape
It is used to stir a liquid or solution in biological, chemical, medical and research laboratory applications.
Teflon PTFE casing is chemically inert, can be used with corrosive chemicals, and helps reduce friction and wear while spinning
Built in pivot ring helps reduce vibration and wear during stirring
The stir bar is placed inside a container of liquid or solution that is seated on a magnetic stirrer, which is a laboratory device that creates a rotating magnetic field using a rotating magnet or multiple stationary electromagnets.
