Key Features
- Octagonal shape with fluted ends provides more turbulence than a non-fluted octagonal stir bar and can be used with containers with curved bottoms
- Teflon (PTFE) casing is chemically inert, can be used with corrosive chemicals, and helps reduce friction and wear while spinning
- Spins on the bottom of the container to disperse sediment and air bubbles
- Internal magnet made from samarium cobalt provides stronger magnetic attraction in viscous solutions and at high speeds than a magnet made from an alloy of alnico V
- Green color for quick identification

Product Description
The Bel-Art Scienceware F371740000 Rare Earth Spinbar octagonal-shaped stir bar with fluted ends has a green Teflon (PTFE) casing and an internal magnet made from samarium cobalt for a range of laboratory stirring applications. The octagonal shape with fluted ends provides more turbulence than a non-fluted octagonal stir bar and can be used with containers with curved bottoms. The bar's internal magnet is made from samarium cobalt, which provides stronger magnetic attraction in viscous solutions and at high speeds than a magnet made from alnico V (an alloy of aluminum, nickel, iron, and cobalt). The magnet sits inside a Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene, or PTFE) casing, which is chemically inert, can be used with corrosive chemicals, and helps reduce friction and wear while spinning. The bar spins on the bottom of the container to disperse sediment and air bubbles. Its green color provides quick identification. The bar measures 1.969" (50 mm) by 0.83" (21 mm) (L x OD, where L is the length, the horizontal distance from left to right, and OD is the outside diameter, or the circumference). The casing material is FDA approved for use in food, drug, and cosmetic applications.
Magnetic stir bars (sometimes called stirring bars, spin bars, or fleas) are used to stir a liquid or solution in biological, chemical, medical, and research laboratory applications. The stir bar is placed inside a container of liquid or solution that is seated on a magnetic stirrer (also called a magnetic mixer), which is a laboratory device that creates a rotating magnetic field using a rotating magnet or multiple stationary electromagnets. The rotating magnetic field causes the bar to spin, which stirs the liquid or solution. Stirring bars are offered in a variety of sizes and shapes, and they are encased in materials such as glass or plastic to help prevent contamination of the liquid or solution, to reduce friction, and to provide resistance to chemicals, abrasion, and heat. The bar may have a pivot ring or pivot point to minimize contact with the container, reduce friction, and improve its spinning. The size and shape of the container and the volume and viscosity of the liquid or solution to be stirred determine which stir bar shape, size, and casing will suit a particular application.
