This mini magnetic stirrer spins a stir bar inside a liquid to mix it, with stepless speed control from 200 to 2000RPM and a stated stirring capacity of 1.0L to 1.5L. It is a compact 10 x 10 x 3cm unit with a built-in 1200mA lithium battery that charges over USB, so it can run on the bench or away from a socket. Note that this is a stirrer only: it has no heating plate, so it is not a hotplate stirrer.
Features and benefits:
- Stepless speed from 200 to 2000RPM - turn the knob to find the speed that mixes your liquid without splashing
- Built-in 1200mA lithium-ion battery, up to 12 hours working time - stir without a mains socket nearby
- USB charging at 5V with a 1m cable - top up from a power bank, laptop or phone charger
- Low-voltage DC motor - runs smoothly and quietly
- Magnetic range 15 to 25mm - suits small stir bars and small vessels
- Compact 10 x 10 x 3cm body - fits on a crowded bench or in a kit bag
- Red indicator light - shows at a glance that the unit is switched on
Applications:
- Mixing solutions in small beakers and flasks
- Small-batch sample preparation in school and workshop labs
- Brewing, cosmetics and food preparation trials
- Hobby chemistry and demonstration work
- Field or outdoor mixing where there is no mains supply

A: A rotating magnet inside the base turns a small magnetic stir bar sitting in the liquid, which mixes it without a paddle or hand stirring. This unit drives the magnet with a low-voltage DC motor at 200 to 2000RPM.. Q: How do you use a magnetic stirrer? A: Drop the stir bar into your beaker or flask, stand it centred on the stirrer, then turn the knob up slowly from OFF. Raise the speed until the liquid mixes evenly without the bar jumping.. Q: Is this a hot plate with a magnetic stirrer? A: No. It stirs only and has no heating plate. If you need heat you will need a separate hotplate.. Q: How long does the battery last? A: The maker states up to 12 hours working time from the built-in 1200mA battery.. Q: What is the maximum amount of liquid it can stir? A: The stated stirring capacity is 1.0L to 1.5L..
