Magnetic PTFE Stir Bar Retriever 10in

The 10 Inch PTFE Magnetic Stir Bar Retriever is a laboratory accessory for recovering compatible magnetic stir bars from beakers, flasks, and other vessels. Its approximately 10-inch length provides useful reach while the magnetic end attracts compatible stir bars, allowing them to be removed without pouring out vessel contents solely for retrieval.

The exterior of the 10 Inch PTFE Magnetic Stir Bar Retriever uses PTFE at the liquid-contact area, a material commonly selected for laboratory accessories because of its smooth surface and resistance to many chemicals. Chemical compatibility still depends on the particular substance, concentration, temperature, exposure time, and cleaning method, so suitability should be confirmed for each application.

Retrieval performance of the 10 Inch PTFE Magnetic Stir Bar Retriever depends on the magnetic properties of the stir bar, distance, vessel geometry, and any material between the retriever and the bar. Move the magnetic end near the stir bar until it couples, then withdraw it carefully. Avoid striking glass vessel walls or forcing the retriever into an opening that is too narrow.

Inspect the PTFE surface before use and remove the retriever from service if it becomes cracked, deeply scratched, or otherwise damaged. Clean it using a method compatible with PTFE and the material being handled. When cross-contamination matters, clean appropriately between different samples or procedures.

Select the 10 Inch PTFE Magnetic Stir Bar Retriever as a practical companion to laboratory magnetic mixing equipment. Browse compatible stir bars, longer retrievers, magnetic stirrers, and heating equipment in our Lab Heating, Stirring & Mixing Equipment collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length and contact material are listed?
The retriever is approximately 10 inches long and uses PTFE at the liquid-contact area.

Will it recover every stir bar?
Retrieval depends on the bar's magnetic properties, distance, vessel geometry, and any intervening material.

How should I clean it?
Use a method compatible with PTFE and the residues. Inspect the surface and clean between samples when cross-contamination matters.
