iStir Uno Motorless Magnetic Stirrer
iStir Uno Motorless Magnetic Stirrer
Ultra-slim digital magnetic stirrer with pulse mixing and maintenance-free operation
The iStir Uno is an innovative motorless magnetic stirrer designed for precise, quiet and dependable mixing in modern laboratories. With no conventional motor or moving mechanical components, it provides genuinely maintenance-free operation while occupying very little valuable bench space.
Measuring only 13.4 mm in thickness, the iStir Uno is exceptionally compact and can be used comfortably in space-restricted laboratories. Despite its low-profile design, it provides a variable speed range of 15 to 1,500 RPM and can mix volumes of up to 800 ml.
Digital speed and timer controls provide accurate, repeatable operation. Gradual acceleration helps prevent splashing and loss of the magnetic stir bar, while pulse mode periodically changes the stirring direction to improve mixing performance.
No motor. No moving parts. Minimal maintenance.
Advanced magnetic coil technology delivers reliable stirring without the mechanical wear associated with conventional motor-driven stirrers.
Key Features
- Motorless magnetic stirring technology with no moving mechanical components
- Maintenance-free operation for dependable long-term laboratory use
- Variable speed from 15 to 1,500 RPM for a wide range of mixing requirements
- Digital display for clear speed and operating-time settings
- Microprocessor-controlled gradual acceleration helps prevent splashing and stir-bar decoupling
- Pulse mode changes the stirring direction to improve mixing performance
- Timer from 1 to 99 minutes with an additional continuous operating mode
- 800 ml maximum stirring capacity for routine laboratory applications
- Suitable for magnetic stir bars up to 25 mm long
- Stainless-steel top surface provides excellent corrosion resistance
- IP65-protected design helps protect the instrument against dust and liquid ingress
- Exceptionally slim 13.4 mm profile saves valuable laboratory bench space
Intelligent Speed Control
The iStir Uno uses microprocessor-controlled acceleration to increase the stirring speed gradually. This controlled start helps maintain reliable magnetic coupling between the instrument and stir bar, reducing the risk of splashing or disruption to the mixing process.
Speed can be adjusted from gentle low-speed stirring at 15 RPM through to rapid mixing at 1,500 RPM, allowing one compact instrument to support a broad range of laboratory procedures.
Pulse Mixing
Pulse mode changes the direction of the stirring action to promote more effective circulation throughout the vessel. This is particularly useful for samples that are difficult to mix using continuous one-directional stirring alone.
Typical Applications
- Preparation of laboratory solutions
- Mixing buffers, reagents and culture media
- Dissolving powders and chemical compounds
- Routine sample preparation
- Clinical and diagnostic laboratory work
- Life-science and university research
- Educational, pharmaceutical and industrial laboratories
