Details: Wheaton Micro-Stir Magnetic Stirrers are designed specially for cell culture applications requiring exceptionally slow speeds, gentle mixing preventing shear and low heat transfer. Slow acceleration and slow stop prevent cell detachment from microcarriers.The interval start mode turns the stirrer on and off using the soft start and stop for a set number of cycles, after which the stirrer runs at a constant speed that may differ from the speed used to attach the cells. This mode is useful for attaching cells to microcarrier beads. There is no need to watch the culture and turn on the stirrer for a constant stir mode after the cells have attached. Wheaton Magnetic Stirrers are preferred in research over gear driven motorized stirrers because they are less noisy, more efficient, and have no moving parts to break or wear out. They can be used in an environment with CO2 and non-condensing humidity, and with a temperature range to 50C. If you require remote operation of the Micro-Stir Magnetic Stirrer a Remote Control (Wheaton Number W900704) can be purchased separately. Units conform to UL, CSA, and CE Standards and come with a 2 year warranty. Dimensions: (HxWxD) Single Place 3.6 x 8.0 x 9.8 in; Four Place 4.0 x 15.5 x 17.5 in
