Novel magnetic stirrer speaks to lab equipment

Science Daily  August 3, 2020
Researchers in the UK have developed a device, called “Smart Stirrer”. When immersed in a solution, it can in situ monitor physical properties of the chemical reaction such as the temperature, conductivity, visible spectrum, opaqueness, stirring rate, and viscosity. This data is transmitted real-time over a wireless connection to an external system, such as a PC or smartphone. The flexible open-source software architecture allows effortless programming of the operation parameters of the Smart Stirrer in accordance with the end-user needs. In a series of experiments its capability for many hours of continuous telemetry with fine accuracy and a high data rate has been demonstrated. The device can be used in conventional research laboratories, industrial production lines, flow reactors, and others to log the state of the process to ensure repeatability and operational consistency…read more.
