YSI 059895 Stir Shaft, Rubber Paddle

Description

Product Overview

The Thomas Scientific Stir Shaft Rubber Paddle (model 059895) is engineered for laboratory environments where precision, durability, and flexibility are paramount. Constructed with a high‑grade rubber paddle, the accessory delivers smooth, consistent agitation across a wide range of fluids, from low‑viscosity solvents to more viscous suspensions. The replaceable cap membrane allows users to quickly swap out the cap without dismantling the entire stirring assembly, reducing downtime and extending the lifespan of the equipment. The removable stirring mechanism further enhances versatility, enabling easy cleaning, maintenance, and adaptation to different stirrer heads. Designed to fit standard stirrer shafts, this accessory integrates seamlessly with existing lab mixers, providing a cost‑effective solution for both routine and specialized mixing applications.

Usage

Designed for use in research laboratories, quality‑control facilities, and industrial testing stations, the Stir Shaft Rubber Paddle excels in applications that demand reliable, repeatable mixing. Whether you are preparing chemical reagents, homogenizing biological samples, or conducting small‑scale pilot studies, the paddle’s ergonomic design ensures uniform shear forces while minimizing vortex formation. Its interchangeable cap and removable mechanism make it ideal for environments where rapid change‑over between experiments is essential. The accessory is also suitable for educational settings, allowing students to experience professional‑grade mixing performance without the need for multiple dedicated tools.

FAQ

What stirrer shafts are compatible with this paddle?

The paddle is designed to fit standard laboratory stirrer shafts ranging from 10 mm to 12 mm in diameter. It works with most magnetic and mechanical stirrers commonly used in research and industrial labs.

How often should the cap membrane be replaced?

Replacement frequency depends on usage intensity and the chemicals involved. For routine laboratory work, we recommend inspecting the cap membrane monthly and replacing it if any wear, cracking, or loss of elasticity is observed.

Can the paddle be used with temperature‑controlled stirrers?

Yes, the rubber material is rated for temperatures up to 120 °C (248 °F), making it suitable for most heated mixing applications. However, prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures may affect longevity, so monitor performance regularly.

Is the paddle suitable for sterile environments?

The paddle can be sterilized using standard autoclave cycles (121 °C, 15 psi) without compromising its structural integrity. Ensure the cap membrane is inspected after each sterilization cycle for any signs of degradation.
