2.3 Controlling the Stirrer
STIRRING OPERATING TIPS
The stirrer increases speed at a steady rate until the setpoint is reached. If the stirrer is not reaching its setpoint: 1)
the stir bar may be too large, 2) the liquid may be too viscous, 3) the setpoint speed may need to be reduced.
Additionally, the magnetic strength of stir bars reduce over time and may need to be replaced.
When heating and stirring a reaction vessel within an oil bath or similar set-up, the stirring function will stir up to
approximately one 2.5 cm from the top plate. The stirring speed will vary according to liquid viscosity, spin bar
length, and distance from top plate. Adjust one or all of these to achieve the desired stirring speed. For example:
the closer the reaction vessel is to the top plate, the strong the magnetic connection between the unit and the stir
bar.
1. Rotate the right knob (D) to control the speed setting
(P).
a) Clockwise rotation will increase the speed
setting (P).

HEATING OPERATING TIPS
Overshoot:
The unit may overshoot the temperature up to 10°C before stabilizing at the setpoint. The two methods to minimize
overshoot are:
1. Metal containers minimize overshoot. CAUTION! When heating metal containers on a ceramic top plate, it
is recommended to use the lowest temperature setting possible to limit thermal stress to the ceramic
top plate.
2. If a glass vessel is used, anticipate overshoot. Start with a temperature setpoint 5 to 10°C below the desired
temperature. When the temperature stabilizes at this lower setting, increase the heater to the final
temperature. Overshoot is then reduced to about 1°C.
The temperature display on the units show the actual temperature of the heater, not the top plate or the sample.
The vessel’s contents being heated may be at a lower temperature depending on the size and thermal conductivity
of the vessel. It may be beneficial to monitor the temperature of the vessel’s contents and adjust the setpoint
temperature accordingly. If you need precise control, use the VWR External Temperature Probe.
Typical Time to Boil Water
The chart below is an example of an approximate time to boil for the specified amount of water in a specific vessel.
These values are only approximate and can vary from unit to unit. Values are based on 23°C water in an ambient
environment of 23°C.
