Corning® Single Position Stirrers

Corning offers single position stirrers with two different top materials: the traditional Pyroceram® glass-ceramic tops for durability and corrosion resistance and high impact ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) plastic tops for applications with less rigorous demands.

Corning also offers single position Slow Speed Stirrers and Submersible Stirrers.

Stirrers with Pyroceram tops

These premium Corning stirrers offer superior performance and reliability in a low profile, space-saving design.

The new Corning Digital Pyroceram Stirrers display the stir bar speed using a bright LED panel to give you better control of your stirring process. Exclusive closed-loop stirring control monitors and regulates the stirring speed for aqueous, viscous, or semi-solid solutions. Automatic ramp up speed adjustment minimizes decoupling. Available in two top sizes:

Corning Digital stirrers (Model PC-410D shown) have bright LED displays for better stirring control and Pyroceram tops for better durability and corrosion resistance.

  • PC-410D with a 5" x 7" (12.7 x 17.8cm) Pyroceram top
  • PC-610D with a 10" x 10" (25.4 x 25.4cm) Pyroceram top

A standard Pyroceram top stirrer without a stirring speed display is available in one top size:

  • PC-210 with a 4" x 5" (10.2 x 12.7cm) Pyroceram top

All Corning Pyroceram top stirrers offer:

  • Enclosed electronics to protect components, improve performance, and prolong product life.
  • 60-1100 RPM stirring range (digital models to 1150RPM)
  • Stronger, larger magnet improves stir bar coupling and stirring speed capability.
  • Low-profile design uses less space on bench tops and under hoods.
  • Two piece casting design deflects spills away from electronics and includes a built in mount for an optional support rod.
  • Two-year warranty (PC-171 has a 1 year warranty)
  • Choice of three voltages to meet power requirements globally (see Ordering Information).

The 5 x 5 inch plastic top Scholar PC-171 Stirrer provides vigorous stirring with an alternating current motor for longer life and rugged construction.

Corning PC-611 stirrers can stir up to 10 gallons and handle many applications that previously required an overhead stirrer.

Stirrers with ABS plastic tops

Corning offers two stirrers with rugged ABS plastic tops: The large PC-611 stirrers have an 11" x 11" (27.9 x 27.9cm) top and can stir large volumes (over 30L) of liquid with ease. The 5" x 5" (12.7 x 12.7cm) plastic top Scholar™ PC-171 Stirrer is compact and ideal for student applications.

  • Space saving design and light weight
  • UL, cUL and CE approved
  • 1 year warranty
