- Typical stirring positions
- Units in this class commonly feature multiple stirring positions, often four, allowing for simultaneous processing of samples.
- Maximum vessel size
- Typically accommodates up to four 1-litre flasks or beakers, or three 1-litre spinner flasks.
- Speed range
- Commonly offers a broad speed range, for this class of equipment, from low to high RPM, often including reverse and interval stirring capabilities.
- Control features
- Units of this type commonly include microprocessor controls for precision and reproducibility, with programmable profiles for speed, ramp rate, and time.
- Power levels
- Often provides adjustable power levels suitable for various sample viscosities.
- Footprint
- For this class of equipment, dimensions are typically compact, designed for benchtop use in a laboratory environment.
- Power supply
- Commonly operates on standard laboratory power supplies, with wattage appropriate for multi-position stirring.
