FAQs
1. What is the primary benefit of a PTFE coating?
The PTFE coating provides excellent chemical inertness and resistance to a broad range of acids, bases, and organic solvents. It also offers a non-stick surface for easy cleaning and prevents sample contamination.
2. How do I choose the correct stirring paddle size for my vessel?
The ideal stirring paddle size generally depends on the volume and geometry of your beaker or flask. A paddle that is too large may not rotate effectively, while one too small may not provide adequate mixing. Consider the vessel’s diameter and the solution’s volume.
3. Can this stirring paddle be used at high temperatures?
PTFE is known for its excellent temperature resistance. These stirring paddles can typically withstand temperatures ranging from -196°C to +250°C, making them suitable for reactions requiring heating or cooling.
4. What type of magnetic stirrer is compatible with this paddle?
This magnetised stirring paddle is designed for use with standard laboratory magnetic stirrers. Ensure your stirrer has a strong enough magnetic field to effectively couple with and rotate the paddle within your solution.
5. How should I clean and store the stirring paddle?
Clean the paddle thoroughly with appropriate solvents or detergents after each use, followed by rinsing with distilled water. Store it in a clean, dry place to prevent any physical damage or contamination.
