Biological Stirrers

Designed for gentle
stirring of suspension cell cultures. Especially suited
for stirring microcarriers (see 62407-096 series)
and for cells with poor attachment rates. Smooth
stirring action, even at slowest speeds, is achieved by
a specially-formed stirrer rod which moves slowly
through cell culture medium in a vessel shaped to
correspond with the profile of the rod. Accommodates
four vessels of 500mL or 1L.

Soft-start and soft-stop design
eliminates cell damage during acceleration and
deceleration. Electronic speed control range is 0 to
80rpm. Interval stirring with variable on/off times
improves cell attachment rates. No bearings inside
culture vessel to grind cells. Vessels can be sealed for
use with pathogenic materials.

System uses less than 2W so it
will not heat up when placed in an incubator. Stirrer
rod is activated by magnetic coupling from rotating
magnets under stirrer platform.

Borosilicate glass culture vessels
(sold separately) are siliconized and include seals,
caps and stirrer rod assembly. Actual volume is
approximately twice the nominal working volume.
Space-saving design. For 110V, 50/60Hz operation.
