REPLACES VP 711B, Autoclavable Flip Dispenser – 96 holes for VP 711
V&P Stir elements were designed to mix and stir the contents of microplate wells and to facilitate chemical or biological reactions. These stir elements work best when used with the strong magnetic fields generated by our Vertical Tumble Stirrers or with our Lateral Vortex Stirrers using NdFeB magnetic cylinders. The strength of these magnetic fields is so strong that they will even cause inexpensive weakly magnetic stainless steel stir elements to tumble when they are even 12.8 cm above the stirrer’s deck. Furthermore the cost of the stainless steel stir elements is so low as to be considered “disposable”.
High Throughput Stirring Platform
The NdFeB magnetic cylinders used with both our Vertical and Lateral Tumble Stirrers are constructed to project a very strong magnetic field for 60 cm. When used with our Vertical Tumble Stirrers, microplates can be stirred when stacked 8 microplates high (12.8cm) with stainless steel stir elements and stirred up to 19 microplates high (30.4 cm) when used with NdFeB stir elements. This great projection of magnetic field strength allows for experiments of up to 40 microplates using stainless steel stir elements and 95 microplates when using NdFeB stir elements on a VP 710E5.
