Overview
The Titan MS-10L Magnetic Stirrer is a compact, high-performance benchtop laboratory device engineered for precise and reproducible mixing of low-to-medium viscosity liquids in research, quality control, and routine analytical workflows. Utilizing permanent magnet-driven rotation via a rotating magnetic field generated beneath the chemically resistant ceramic-coated stainless steel plate, this stirrer delivers consistent torque transmission without mechanical coupling—eliminating shaft seals, wear parts, or contamination risks associated with overhead stirrers. Designed for ambient-temperature applications only, the MS-10L is optimized for stability during extended operation, making it suitable for dissolution testing, buffer preparation, reagent homogenization, and sample conditioning where thermal input is unnecessary or undesirable.
Key Features
- Robust ceramic-coated stainless steel top plate offering excellent chemical resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents commonly used in laboratory environments.
- Digitally controlled speed regulation with fine resolution across the full 100–1500 rpm range, enabling precise adaptation to varying viscosities and vessel geometries.
- Stable platform design with non-slip silicone feet and reinforced base structure to minimize vibration and orbital drift—even at maximum rotational speeds and under load.
- Integrated LED display showing real-time setpoint and actual speed, supporting immediate verification and protocol documentation.
- Low electromagnetic interference (EMI) motor drive architecture compliant with IEC 61326-1 for use in electromagnetically sensitive laboratory settings.
- CE-marked and RoHS-compliant construction, meeting essential health, safety, and environmental requirements for deployment in EU-regulated laboratories.
Sample Compatibility & Compliance
The MS-10L accommodates standard laboratory glassware including beakers (up to 10 L capacity), Erlenmeyer flasks, and graduated cylinders equipped with compatible PTFE- or polypropylene-coated magnetic stir bars. It supports operation under ISO/IEC 17025-accredited testing conditions when integrated into documented SOPs. While not equipped with heating functionality, its ambient-only operation ensures compatibility with temperature-sensitive samples such as enzymatic assays, polymer solutions, or volatile solvent systems. The device conforms to general laboratory equipment safety standards including UL 61010-1 (Ed. 3) and EN 61010-1:2010+A1:2019 for electrical safety in measurement, control, and laboratory use.
Software & Data Management
As a standalone analog-digital hybrid instrument, the MS-10L does not feature onboard data logging or computer connectivity. However, its digital speed interface enables seamless integration into validated laboratory workflows through external process recording systems. When deployed within GLP- or GMP-regulated environments, operators may document speed settings, duration, and vessel identifiers manually or via electronic lab notebooks (ELNs) compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 requirements. Calibration verification—performed annually using traceable tachometric reference standards—is recommended to maintain measurement integrity across operational life.
Applications
- Preparation of homogeneous aqueous and organic solutions in pharmaceutical QC labs.
- Mixing of cell culture media and reagents in life science research facilities.
- Standardization of titrant solutions prior to volumetric analysis.
- Dispersion of nanoparticles and colloidal suspensions in materials science studies.
- Supporting ASTM D4097 (Standard Test Method for Determining the Stability of Emulsions) by providing consistent agitation without introducing thermal artifacts.
- Facilitating USP dissolution apparatus auxiliary mixing steps where non-heated agitation is specified.
FAQ
Does the MS-10L include a heating function?
No. This model operates exclusively at ambient temperature and does not incorporate a built-in heater or temperature sensor.
What is the maximum recommended viscosity for reliable stirring at 1500 rpm?
For optimal performance and long-term motor longevity, the unit is rated for Newtonian fluids up to approximately 500 mPa·s at full speed; higher viscosities require reduced rotational speeds and appropriate stir bar geometry.
Is the MS-10L suitable for use inside a fume hood?
Yes—the unit meets IP20 ingress protection rating and contains no exposed high-voltage components, permitting safe operation in ventilated enclosures when used with compatible power supplies.
Can the speed setting be locked to prevent accidental adjustment during experiments?
No hardware lock is provided; however, the front-panel buttons require deliberate dual-key activation (SET + UP/DOWN) to modify speed, reducing unintentional changes during routine handling.
What stir bar size is recommended for 10 L volume applications?
A 60–80 mm elliptical or cross-shaped PTFE-coated stir bar with internal rare-earth magnets is advised to ensure stable vortex formation and uniform mixing throughout the vessel depth.
