User considerations
Correct use
The remote-controlled single magnetic stirring systems MINI, MICRO, COMPACT and
MAXI are designed for stirring or vertical mixing of liquids. The MICRO, COMPACT and
MAXI stirring drives are ideally suited for submerged operation. The single magnetic
stirring systems can be employed for chemical, microbiological, pharmaceutical or
medical purposes.
The stirrers are suited to operation in the following areas:
On the laboratory bench
In incubators and gas incubators with or without air humidification
In cold chambers
MICRO, COMPACT and MAXI: In water bath
In laminar flow equipment
In safety laboratories and sterile rooms
In measuring equipment (e. g. photospectrometers)
Incorrect use
The magnetic stirring systems MINI, MICRO, COMPACT and MAXI must not be
operated in hazardous locations.
Do not stir or shake flammable liquids with a low boiling point.
The magnetic stirring system MINI must not be operated in a water bath.
Do not heat liquids in pressure sealed vessels (e.g. storage flasks, Erlenmeyer flasks).
