magnetic stirrer question
    #8008899 - 02/11/08 01:51 PM (15 years, 11 months ago)

i searched around and couldn't find a good answer so here goes.  i got a magnetic stirrer and apparently i didn't realize it generates heat as well.  i get home today to check on the lc and the jar is warm.  i put a thermometer on the top of the stirrer and it read just over 100 degrees!!!  :eek:  WTF!!  is there some kind of heating element i can take out or am i just going to have to get a new one without the hot plate.  by the way it didn't say it had a hot plate in the description.  any solutions or suggestions would be great.

It might not have a hot plate.

It may just generate heat, are you leaving it on 24/7?

If so try turning it on only once a day or something.

it's probably the electric motor generating heat from being left on for so long

like the previous posters said, use it a couple times a day to agitate your solution.

if you are still bent on keeping it on 24/7, find a way to lift the jar and hang it above the plate so that it's no longer touching, but still in the magnetic field. shouldn't get too hot, it actually might just keep it at a good incubating temp, but if it does aim a fan at it or something.
