Polymerization
"Maintaining consistent mixing conditions is important for polymer synthesis. The beetle improved the batch-to-batch consistency of our lab-scale polymerization to allow us to get a deeper understanding of the reaction for scale-up."

I am pleased to share my experience with the improvement in synthesis time thanks to the new magnetic stir bar in my research. Previously, achieving the desired particle size for gold nano ink required an 8-hour stirring process. However, with the introduction of this new stir bar, synthesis time has been shortened to just 3.5 hours. This efficiency enhancement has greatly helped our research progress. I highly recommend this stir bar to researchers looking to increase productivity.

"As viscosity increases in bulk polymerization, it is difficult to get consistent results due to varying mixing efficiency. Petit Prince enabled consistent mixing even with rising viscosity and helped me obtain more reliable outcomes and conversions. "

Mixing is the application of mechanical motion to create fluid dynamic effects to achieve a designed process result. While large-scale industrial mixing has widely adopted non-vortex mixing since 1990s, lab-scale magnetic mixing has largely remained unchanged since its initial development from 1920s: a singular vortex flow pattern that is vastly different from commercial processes today. Mixing should not be a limiting factor for scientists in research. The MIXR product line is the world's-first non-vortex magnetic stir bars, engineered to generate complex fluid motion that resembles commercial-scale mixing. The patented MIXR technology ensures consistent results at lab-scale across an expanded effective viscosity range over conventional stir bars. Whether dispersing liquids or suspending solids for reactions and formulations, MIXR enables scientist to focus on their research unhinidered by challenges related to mixing.

Redefining Magnetic Stirring Technology
A greener future
for your lab & our planet!
PFAs, or per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances, are synthetic chemicals that makes products water, oil, and chemical resistant. PFAs are alarmingly toxic at low levels (i.e. U.S. EPA established health advisory levels at 70 part-per-trillion (ppt)). Their wide-spread application in our homes, our clothes, our supermarkets, and our labs makes avoiding PFAs nearly impossible.
Numerous studies have now linked PFAs to severe health effects in both human and animal studies, including kidney cancer, liver problems, interference with vaccine effectiveness and reproductive harm. Disturbingly, while the chemical industry was aware of some adverse PFAs effects in 1980s, the information was not disclosed to U.S. EPA or the public. Alarmingly, PFAs were detected in bloodstream of 98% of participants in National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2023.
​
MIXR utilizes a functionalized PET (pPET), a non-PFAS material with chemical resistance on par with PFAS-based materials for most lab applications. pPET can be recycled through stream along with PET bottles when uncontaminated.
How are we different ?
The MIXR (mixer) magnetic stirrer bars series are useful for meeting the specific needs of chemists in different research domains. MIXR helps distribute the particles faster with its ability to push and pull the flow direction vertically. The multi-blades are not only producing higher kinetic energy but also allowing interlayer particle transport, vertically distributed. As a result, MIXR has a higher effectivity on particle distribution within a shorter time compared to prior magnetic stirrer bar.
Our achievement is experimentally tested and CFD proved., Check our application site for more information.
The above picture is the CFD of MIXR's Rolling Stones magnetic stirrer bar, which is designed specifically to have up-and-down pump flow in axial and radial movement. This product is comparable to an impeller with an axial turbine impeller in terms of flow movement.
Down below, the CFD shows the flow movement of a conventional magnetic stirrer. Around the two edges, mixing is limited. In comparison, our magnetic stirrer can achieve high-quality mixing in a more efficient way.

Let's break the status quo of mixing!
The MIXR magnetic stirrer facilitates turbulent mixing, enabling faster collisions between mixtures (liquid-liquid, solid-liquid, and gas-liquid) on a meso-micromixing scale. It works effectively at a wide range of high viscosity levels, up to 0–1400 cP. We provide a variety of materials, shapes, and sizes to accommodate research demands.
