High-performance magnetic stirring for modern laboratories with the MIX 8 XL
The MIX 8 XL is a high-quality magnetic stirrer developed to meet the needs of laboratories in the fields of chemistry, medicine, pharmacy, microbiology and biotechnology. With its 8 stirring points, it allows several samples to be processed simultaneously, thus optimising the efficiency of experimental processes. Each point can accommodate laboratory bottles or beakers up to 3,000 ml, with extended compatibility for intermediate volumes (25 ml to 2,000 ml).
Its inductive drive system with no moving mechanical parts eliminates wear and tear, ensuring exceptional longevity and zero maintenance. This mechanism also ensures consistent power transmission, even for viscous media or large volumes. The MIX 8 XL is designed for use in controlled environments such as laminar flow hoods, safety cabinets or protective enclosures.
Robust construction and enhanced safety
The structure of the MIX 8 XL is made entirely of stainless steel, with a PUR seal ensuring a perfect seal. The device is IP65 rated, making it resistant to dust and water splashes. It can be easily cleaned under running water, provided that the plugs are completely dry before reconnection. Its hermetic design prevents any infiltration of liquids or contaminants, ensuring optimal hygiene in sensitive environments.
Safety is at the heart of its design: the device must not be used with flammable liquids, in explosive atmospheres, or immersed in water or oil baths. It is also not recommended for use in incubators due to the heat generated by the induction motor.
Precise control and maximum adaptability
The MIX 8 XL offers an adjustable speed range between 100 and 1,600 rpm, with increments of 10 rpm. It incorporates a SoftStart function that captures and centres the magnetic bars before gradually reaching the desired speed, reducing the risk of misalignment or splashing. The stirring power is adjustable in four levels (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) via a dedicated button, allowing the intensity to be adapted according to the viscosity of the medium or the thermal sensitivity of the samples.
For optimal performance, we recommend using 2mag's ASTEROID magnetic bars, designed with a samarium-cobalt core. Their triangular shape and PTFE coating ensure stable rotation, minimal abrasion and superior mixing efficiency, even at low speeds.
