User considerations
Correct use
The direct-controlled magnetic stirrers MAXI DIRECT, POLY 15 and MULTIPOINT 6
/ 15 are designed for laboratory use to stir liquids. The MAXI DIRECT magnetic
stirrer is fitted with a single stirring point, while the POLY 15 and the MULTIPOINT 6 /
15 can stir several vessels simultaneously.
The stirrers can be employed for chemical, microbiological, biotechnical,
pharmaceutical or medical purposes.
The stirrers are suited to operation in the following areas:
On the laboratory bench,
In cold chambers,
In laminar flow equipment,
In safety laboratories and sterile rooms.
Incorrect use
The magnetic stirrers MAXI DIRECT, POLY 15 and MULTIPOINT 6 / 15 must not be
operated in hazardous locations.
The stirrers must not be operated in a water bath.
Do not stir or shake flammable liquids with a low boiling point.
The suitability of the direct-controlled magnetic stirrers for use in incubators is limited,
because the stirring power cannot be adjusted as necessary. Moreover, the
integrated eletronics heat the magnetic stirrer additionally.
