16 Inch Magnetic Stir Bar Retriever

The 16 Inch Magnetic Retriever is a long-reach laboratory and workshop tool for recovering compatible magnetic objects from locations that are inconvenient to reach by hand. Its approximately 16-inch reach can be useful for retrieving magnetic stir bars from deeper vessels or recovering small ferrous items from confined spaces, depending on the size, weight, and magnetic properties of the object.

A 16 Inch Magnetic Retriever can simplify routine handling around magnetic stirring equipment by allowing the user to bring the magnetic end near a compatible stir bar and lift it from the vessel. The longer format provides additional reach compared with compact stir-bar retrievers, which can be helpful with tall containers and certain laboratory setups.

Retrieval performance of the 16 Inch Magnetic Retriever depends on distance, object weight, magnetic material, vessel geometry, and any barrier between the magnet and the object. It should not be assumed to lift every magnetic component or to provide a specific holding force unless that rating is explicitly provided. Use controlled movements around glassware to avoid impact or breakage.

Inspect the retriever before use and keep the magnetic end clean. If it is used around laboratory materials, verify that the exterior is compatible with the substance and cleaning procedure involved. Avoid striking vessel walls or forcing the tool into openings that are too narrow. Clean between applications when cross-contamination is a concern.

Choose the 16 Inch Magnetic Retriever when additional reach is useful for compatible stir-bar or magnetic-object recovery. Browse shorter PTFE retrievers, magnetic stir bars, hot plates, and mixers in our Lab Heating, Stirring & Mixing Equipment collection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What reach is listed?
The product information describes an approximately 16-inch reach for retrieving compatible magnetic objects.

Can it lift every stir bar?
No. Retrieval depends on magnetic properties, object weight, distance, and vessel geometry. A specific holding force is not documented.

Can I place it in any laboratory liquid?
Confirm exterior-material compatibility with the liquid and cleaning method before contact. Move gently to avoid striking glassware.
