Magnetic Stir Bar Set 8PCS BILICAM PTFE Glass Stirrers for Mixers

Description

Product Overview

The BILICAM Magnetic Stir Bar Set 8PCS is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern laboratories, research facilities, and dedicated hobbyists. Each component of the set has been carefully selected to deliver optimal performance across a wide range of applications. The collection includes five PTFE‑coated stir bars of varying dimensions—A9×25mm, B9×30mm, C8×35mm, H12×26mm, and a gear‑type 7×40mm—providing flexibility for different vessel sizes and stirring speeds. In addition, a high‑temperature glass stir bar (G8×20mm) capable of withstanding temperatures up to 350°C expands the set’s utility for reactions that demand elevated heat without compromising magnetic responsiveness. A 180mm PTFE magnetic stir bar retriever completes the kit, allowing users to retrieve lost or submerged bars quickly and safely. All components are housed in a durable, labeled foam‑insert plastic case that protects the bars from damage and keeps them organized for rapid deployment.

Usage

This stir bar set is compatible with virtually any magnetic stirrer, hot plate, stir plate, or beaker commonly found in laboratory environments. Whether you are conducting routine solution mixing, performing temperature‑sensitive syntheses, or cultivating fungal cultures for mycological studies, the PTFE coating ensures chemical inertness, low friction, and long‑term durability. The glass stir bar is especially valuable for high‑temperature protocols, such as reflux or polymerization reactions, where traditional polymer‑based stir bars might degrade. The set also excels in educational settings, where students can experiment with different bar sizes to observe the impact on vortex formation and mixing efficiency. Its compact case makes it ideal for field work, allowing researchers to transport the entire kit to remote locations without sacrificing performance.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the BILICAM Magnetic Stir Bar Set means investing in quality, reliability, and versatility. Each PTFE‑coated bar undergoes a rigorous coating process that guarantees a uniform, inert surface resistant to acids, bases, and organic solvents. The glass bar is fabricated from high‑purity borosilicate glass, providing exceptional thermal stability while maintaining magnetic properties. BILICAM’s commitment to precision manufacturing ensures that every bar meets strict dimensional tolerances, resulting in consistent magnetic coupling and reduced wear on stirrer motors. The inclusion of a dedicated retriever minimizes downtime caused by lost bars, and the robust storage case protects the components from mechanical impact and contamination. Moreover, BILICAM offers responsive customer support and a clear warranty policy, giving users confidence that any concerns will be addressed promptly.

FAQ

What types of magnetic stirrers are compatible with this set?

The set works with most standard laboratory magnetic stirrers, including single‑position, multi‑position, and overhead models, as long as the stirrer can accommodate the bar dimensions listed.

Can the glass stir bar be used on a hot plate without a magnetic stirrer?

While the glass bar is designed for magnetic agitation, it can be placed on a hot plate for heating purposes only if the plate provides a stable, non‑magnetic surface. However, magnetic stirring is recommended for uniform mixing.

How do I clean and maintain the PTFE‑coated stir bars?

Rinse the bars with appropriate solvents after each use, then gently wipe with a lint‑free cloth. For stubborn residues, soak in a mild alkaline solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry before storage.

Is the retriever safe for use with glass stir bars?

Yes, the PTFE retriever is designed to handle both PTFE and glass bars without scratching or breaking them, making it safe for all bar types in the set.

What warranty does BILICAM provide for this product?

BILICAM offers a one‑year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects. Contact their support team with the purchase details for any warranty claims.
