Use a single overhead stirring system to increase your stirring productivity by up to 600%
The Tornado allows powerful, controlled mechanical stirring of up to six round bottom flasks when combined with the Carousel 6 Plus Reaction Station; offering unrivalled stirring for both viscous samples and for the dispersion of delicate solids in solution.
Wide neck flasks allow easier removal of viscous and solid samples and the use of larger stirrer blades. Baffles also improve stirring by disrupting the creation of a vortex.
This heavy duty, stainless steel and aluminium stand provides the added support needed for stable operation of the Tornado. Tool-free design is easy to assemble.
Choose from centrifugal, anchor and propeller PTFE stirrers, specifically sized for each vessel. Custom formats available on request.
Unique PEEK Pinch-Grip mechanism allows easy, tool-free stirrer shaft insertion and operation under an inert atmosphere.
