A magnetic mixer operates using a rotating magnetic field to spin a stir bar (or flea) immersed in a liquid. Here's a breakdown of the process:
Magnetic Stir Bar – A small, Teflon-coated magnet (stir bar) is placed inside the liquid to be mixed.
Magnetic Plate – The mixer contains a rotating magnet or an electromagnet beneath the platform.
Rotation & Mixing – When the mixer is turned on, the magnetic field causes the stir bar to spin, creating a vortex that mixes the solution uniformly.
Since there's no direct contact between the motor and the liquid, contamination risks are minimized.
