Octahedral PTFE Stir Bar
Overview
A PTFE-coated octahedral stir bar designed to provide efficient magnetic stirring in laboratory vessels. The octahedral geometry promotes stable rotation and improved mixing dynamics compared with standard cylindrical bars. PTFE construction offers chemical resistance and compatibility with a wide range of solutions.
Highlights
- Octahedral geometry for enhanced stirring efficiency
- PTFE coating for broad chemical resistance
- Suitable for use with standard magnetic stirrers
- Designed for mixing, dissolution, and homogenisation workflows
At-a-glance
- Form
- PTFE magnetic stir bar
- Condition
- Surplus/second-hand; stored under manufacturer-recommended conditions.
Applications
Suitable for routine laboratory stirring tasks, including reagent preparation, solute dissolution, buffer mixing, and general liquid homogenisation in chemical, biological, and analytical workflows.
Sustainability
By rehoming surplus lab products, this listing supports waste reduction and resource efficiency.
Responsible use & safety
- Use only by appropriately trained and authorised personnel.
- Inspect the stir bar before use to ensure the PTFE coating is intact.
- Confirm compatibility with vessel size and stirrer strength to ensure stable rotation.
- Use suitable personal protective equipment when handling chemicals and glassware.
