FirstMate keeps things simple, but provides the chemistry capabilities you need to get your work done. These inert materials handle the high temperatures and harsh reagents that you may require for your chemistry. Heat and cool Heating and cooling requires no complex devices. Or use a commercially-available laboratory hotplate for heating.
Agitation continues uninterrupted during both heating and cooling.
Situations that are difficult for stirbars are not a problem for FirstMate's vertical agitation. This method is not only adjustable in speed, frequency and profile, it does not need to be interrupted for either heating or cooling. Each test tube remains pressurized with inert gas, and maintains the inert atmosphere even during reagent addition. Simply turn a valve and you can pull a vacuum instead.
