What types of cell culture applications are these stirrers best suited for?
These stirrers are ideal for suspension and microcarrier cell cultures, supporting a range of cell culture processes that require gentle, consistent mixing.
Can this stirrer be used in various temperature environments?
Yes, these stirrers are designed to operate in diverse environments, including incubators and cold rooms, with a temperature tolerance of -10 to 60°C.
How is the speed controlled, and what is the speed range?
The stirrers feature precise speed control from 1 to 120 rpm, allowing you to adjust the speed based on the specific needs of your cell culture setup.
What are the benefits of the slow start/stop feature?
The slow start/stop feature minimizes turbulence and ensures gentle mixing, which helps protect delicate cell cultures from shear stress.
What materials are the stirrer plates made of, and how many positions are available?
The one-position stirrers come with aluminum top plates, while the four-position stirrers feature glass-filled nylon top plates. This provides options for different scales of work.
What are the main differences between the standard and advanced models?
The Model 655 standard stirrers offer basic speed control, while the Model 755 advanced stirrers include LED displays and built-in timers for more precise monitoring.
Are these stirrers stable and safe to use in lab environments?
Yes, they are designed with durable metal bases for stability, spill-resistant housing, and strong magnets that ensure secure coupling, making them safe and reliable for lab use.
Can these stirrers handle various vessel sizes?
Yes, these stirrers are compatible with various vessel types, providing flexibility in lab setups and allowing for different culture volumes.
What type of cell culture applications can I use this stirrer for?
This stirrer is ideal for suspension and microcarrier cell cultures, providing gentle agitation to promote uniform cell growth and better nutrient distribution.
Can this stirrer be used in incubators or cold rooms?
Yes, the stirrer is designed to be used in environments such as incubators and cold rooms, with an operating temperature range from -10 to 60°C.
How precise is the speed control on this stirrer?
The stirrer offers precise speed control ranging from 1 to 120 rpm, allowing you to adjust the speed to match your specific cell culture needs.
Does the stirrer have any safety features?
Yes, the stirrer includes a slow start/stop feature to prevent sudden disruptions in your cell culture and ensure smooth operation. It also features spill-resistant housing and strong magnets for secure coupling.
Will this stirrer work with all types of vessels?
The stirrer is compatible with a wide range of vessels, making it versatile for different cell culture setups, as long as the vessel size and shape are appropriate for the stirrer's design.
What is the difference between the one-position and four-position stirrers?
The one-position stirrer is designed for single vessel use, while the four-position stirrer allows for simultaneous stirring of multiple vessels, making it ideal for larger scale cell culture processes.
What are the advantages of the Model 755 advanced stirrer over the Model 655 standard stirrer?
The Model 755 features an LED display and built-in timers for more precise control and monitoring of your cell culture process, whereas the Model 655 offers basic speed control without these additional features.
Is the stirrer easy to clean and maintain?
Yes, the stirrer is designed with a spill-resistant housing and durable metal bases for easy cleaning. The construction materials are selected for their longevity and minimal maintenance needs.
Can the stirrer be used continuously for long periods?
Yes, the stirrer is designed for continuous operation, but it is always important to monitor the system and ensure the speed settings and vessel sizes are appropriate for your specific application.
Is this stirrer suitable for small-scale or large-scale cell cultures?
The stirrer is versatile and can be used for both small-scale and larger-scale cell culture applications, depending on the number of positions (one or four) and the volume of culture vessels used.
