Description
PTFE Magnetic Stir Bars, Oval Shape – China (O-1 to O-11)
PTFE oval magnetic stir bars are purpose-designed for use inside round bottom flasks, where the curved internal geometry makes standard cylindrical or octagonal bars inefficient or unstable. The smooth, elongated oval profile mirrors the contour of the flask base, allowing the bar to spin freely and maintain consistent contact with the glass surface for effective liquid circulation throughout the vessel.
Manufactured from high-purity PTFE, these stir bars offer near-universal chemical resistance and introduce zero contamination into samples. The non-stick surface prevents sample adhesion, ensures clean retrieval after use, and allows easy cleaning or autoclaving between experiments. They are compatible with all standard magnetic stirrer hotplates and are available in a wide range of sizes to match flask volumes from 10 mL up to 10,000 mL.
Each size is specifically matched to recommended flask volumes to ensure optimal stirring efficiency. Selecting the correct stir bar size for the intended flask volume ensures proper rotation, complete liquid mixing, and avoidance of bar stalling at the base.
