Magnetic Lab Stirrer Apera AI2801 – 0-2300 rpm, 3000 ml Capacity

Description

Product Overview

The Apera AI2801 Magnetic Lab Stirrer is engineered for scientists, hobbyists, and small‑scale manufacturers who need a dependable mixing solution without the footprint of a full‑size laboratory instrument. Measuring just 4.7 x 4.7 x 1.9 inches and weighing only 15 ounces, this compact unit packs a powerful 0‑2300 rpm speed range and a generous 3000 ml stirring capacity. The magnetic drive utilizes a high‑strength neodymium magnet that ensures consistent torque even at low speeds, while the digital control panel offers precise adjustments in 1 rpm increments. Constructed from a sturdy ABS housing, the stirrer resists chemical splashes and is easy to clean. The included magnetic bar is compatible with a wide range of vessels, from glass beakers to stainless‑steel flasks, making the AI2801 a versatile tool for a variety of laboratory and brewing applications.

Usage

Designed for flexibility, the AI2801 excels in environments where space is at a premium but performance cannot be compromised. Home brewers will appreciate the smooth ramp‑up from zero to 2300 rpm, allowing delicate yeast starter cultures to be gently agitated without shear stress. In educational labs, the stirrer provides a reliable platform for teaching basic mixing techniques, solution preparation, and reaction kinetics. Its 3000 ml capacity accommodates most standard laboratory vessels, enabling users to stir large volumes of solvents, buffers, or culture media with uniform motion. The device operates on a standard 120 V AC outlet, and its low power consumption makes it suitable for continuous operation during extended experiments. Whether you are preparing a buffer solution, conducting a small‑scale synthesis, or maintaining a fermentation broth, the AI2801 delivers consistent, bubble‑free mixing.

FAQ

What types of containers are compatible with the magnetic bar?

The magnetic bar works with any non‑magnetic container that can hold a magnetic stir bar, including glass beakers, plastic flasks, and stainless‑steel vessels. It is important to use a compatible stir bar size (typically 10‑15 mm) for optimal performance.

Can the stirrer operate continuously for long periods?

Yes. The AI2801 is designed for continuous operation and includes a thermal protection circuit that prevents overheating. For extended runs, ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.

Is the speed range truly linear across the entire 0‑2300 rpm spectrum?

The digital controller provides step‑by‑step adjustments, and the motor is calibrated to deliver a linear response, giving users fine‑grained control over mixing intensity.

How do I clean the stirrer after use?

Because the housing is made of chemical‑resistant ABS, you can wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the unit or exposing it to excessive moisture.

What warranty coverage does the AI2801 include?

The stirrer comes with a two‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Apera Instruments also provides access to replacement parts and technical assistance throughout the warranty period.
