Magnetic stirrer

[wdebenedettojr]

I purchased this off Amazon couple weeks ago to assist with fixing reagents when testing my tanks. Works great and I feel like my tests have had less deviations then previously when I just do the mixing. I also used it to mix my two part from esv. Anyone that has used esv two part knows the alkalinity comes filled 1/4 of the way and it’s solid as a rock. I filled up most of the jug, used the largest mixing bar and within a few minutes thoroughly mixed. Before hand mixing that stuff stunk! I know there is a few mixers out there for single vials but I was looking for something a little bigger to help with two part. Figured I would share

I used this to stir my Alk

Never thought of using one for that application I’m sure it works well. This mixer tho is good for the small tubes like Hanna checkers or the Red Sea titration tests

+1 use the same one to mix my two part. Works great

Does the smallest magnet stir bar fit in the Hanna cuvettes?

You can buy small ones on Amazon. I had to because I poured mine down the sink by accident..

How easy is it to clean this? Do the chemicals build up on it?
