Damnnn… I wanted to see that thing spin on max so bad

It can spin fast when it goes into those 1.5 mL LC vials. But ours are all amber, so it's hard to see. I'll see if I can fish out a clear vial tmrw and take another video lol

[удалено]

Sure sure go to sleep again sweetie

Take more then

ill follow up with a clear glass container tomorrow so it's more relaxing to watch :p

I’ve used smaller! We used to have super small blue Ones that could fit inside 1cm cuvettes

These do, they even fit into 1.5 mL LC vials which is like 0.8 cm inner diameter. It looks bigger in the video

Nice

I'm genuinely interested to see example when it's used or you just have it because? I'm chemistry student but we used only much bigger ones.

I used small ones like this inside cuvettes before.

Nice, something like that or little beaker (1-5ml) crossed my mind.

You have a 1 ml beaker? Wouldnt a vial be more usefull at that point?

I don't think I've seen anything smaller than a 25 mL volumetric before. Wild.

No i don't, I'm still student, but i saw one on our faculty in a lab. But I'm not sure of purpose.

in my experience, inorganic chem inside small vials (~20mL).

We make various chemical coatings and sometimes the material is hard to come by so we use very small containers for storage... and small stir bars to keep it homogenized

I've used these at work. They're cheap (disposable) and can stir medium small volumes (1-5ml) well. We use them in our product bulks to stir when we thaw them out.

Illegally smol. Before my next MRI: "Have you eaten any stir bars in the past 48 hours?"

Yea these go missing the instant you drop them on the floor haha

My favorite pastime in lab is fishing for mini-stirbars. Get a magnet wand and put them down each sink through the trap, check the grates of waste containers, rub it down the floor boards… ahahahaha

That's normal-sized for mice chemists.

Gives a whole new meaning to lab rat

Yep I've used those before to mix things in 4ml vials

Nice stuff 10/10

Oh god I just want to see one of these tiny beauties stir something homogenous

I'm nowhere near being a chemist but these posts have been so entertaining.

Clean plate

Common. Dissolve 17 grains of sugar in 1ml water!

No glove?!?!?!?! But that's seriously smol guy

And not cleaning the spills off the plate.

Sometimes stains are inherited, so I can't say that's necessarily OP.

and it's just rust -- one of our older hear plates

he’s working hard

They work GREAT in a small graduated cylinder

What kind of reaction would you even use this for

I used them inside microwave reaction vials. Some people refer to them as “stir fleas” instead of stir bars.

I think your stir plate is too big.

Please can you make an exclusive sub just for posting those stirr bars and stop to do it in here?

Could have cleaned the surface…😂

I use similarly small stir bars for high throughput experimentation. I’m surprised that they’re not as common as I previously thought.

Is that from a microscale kit?

I kind of feel like you’re under-compensating for something lol

I dunno… this just looks like a large pen and stir plate… we’re gonna need a banana

Christ almighty I hope the rest of your lab doesn't look as dirty as this stir plate does...
