Magnetic Stirrers

TWC BioSearch/Bellco Magnetic Stirrers are specifically designed for growing both mammalian and bacterial cultures where minimal heat transfer from the magnetic stirrer to the culture vessel is essential. They are ideal for tissue cultures grown in spinner flasks. Bellco incorporates low wattage DC motors to reduce stirrer heat-up along with solid state circuitry for precise RPM control. Independent power and speed controls allow unit to maintain a speed setting when switched on and off. Powerful magnets rotate on ball bearing shafts for increased coupling and continuous maintenance free service. Polyurethane drive belts resist humidity and temperature. Our 115 volt models feature a convenience outlet that allows daisy chaining of up to ten stirrers. This is advantageous when using stirrers in an incubator. Employ Bellco Magnetic Stirrers on the bench, in a cold room or incubator. Inquire about special speed ranges to meet your particular requirements.

7766-Sci/ERA® Quad Drives

The Bellco Sci/ERA® Quad Drive System provides precise control of microcarrier and cell suspension culture agitation within environmental chambers without subjecting sensitive electronics to harmful climates. A system consists of a Master Controller (which houses the electronic components), up to four Magnetic Stirrer Modules and connecting cables. Place Magnetic Stirrer Modules in an humidified CO2 atmosphere and operate them with the Master Controller located outside of the conditions.

The Quad Drive Master Controller delivers precise control of stirrer speed and cycle time. A brushless, low wattage stepper motor, ten turn potentiometer and large, calibrated LED display enable sensitive speed selection from 2.0 to 100.0 RPM. Motor control circuitry ramps up and down, so changes in speed or timer cycling will not traumatize the culture with abrupt changes in agitator rotation. The timer provides over 100,000 cycle combinations governing all remote modules. You can have the stirrer run one minute every hour for cell attachment to microcarriers or one minute every 16 hours for unique applications such as supernatant sampling. Independent run and idle time controls are conveniently set with thumb wheel switches and a countdown LED displays time remaining in the cycle. The Dual Speed Control version runs remote stirrers at two velocities simultaneously (each speed control regulates two outputs jacks ).
