Conventional PTFE Encapsulated Stir Elements

These stir bars can be used for both Tumble Stirring and Vortex Tumble Stirring applications as well as conventional horizontal spinning.  Whether you call them Magnetic Spinning Bars, Stirring Magnets, or Magnetic Stir Bars we have one of the largest collections at the best prices.

V&P Scientific’s PTFE Encapsulated Stir Elements are:

  • Isostatic encapsulated with PTFE to eliminate cracks and porosity
  • FDA approved PTFE
  • Contain Stainless Steel, Alnico (7MGO), or Samarium Cobalt(29MGO) magnet cores
  • Polished to reduce pick-up and cross contamination
  • Sterilizable using thermal or chemical means
  • High-performance stirring bars at “disposable” prices
  • Our PTFE has a broad range of chemical resistance. See Chemical Resistance Chart.
  • Wide Range in diameter from 1.5 mm to 36 mm and from 2 mm to 165 mm in length.  The shapes also are diverse, from cylinders, rectangular, triangular, crosses, wing-shaped, octahedral, and discs.

We also offer Alnico V and Samarium Cobalt magnets conventionally encapsulated in PTFE.  In addition to the permanent magnet stirrers, we also offer magnetic Stainless Steel Stir Elements (discs, dowels, and bars) and Stir StiXs.  The stainless steel stir elements are more cost-effective and many of our customers treat them as disposables.  They are available uncoated, coated with cost-effective parylene, and encapsulated with PTFE.

Stir Element Applications

V&P Stir Elements were designed to mix and stir the contents of microplate wells and to facilitate chemical or biological reactions.   These stir elements work best when used with the strong magnetic fields generated by our Vertical Tumble Stirrers or with our Lateral Vortex Stirrers using NdFeB magnetic cylinders.  The strength of these magnetic fields is so strong that they will even cause inexpensive weakly magnetic stainless steel stir elements to tumble when they are 12.8 cm above the stirrer’s deck.  Furthermore, the cost of the stainless steel stir elements is so low as to be considered “disposable”.

High Throughput Stirring Platform

The NdFeB magnetic cylinders used with both our Vertical and Lateral Tumble Stirrers are constructed to project a very strong magnetic field for 60 cm. When used with our Vertical Tumble Stirrers, microplates can be stirred when stacked 8 microplates high (12.8cm) with stainless steel stir elements and stirred up to 19 microplates high (30.4 cm) when used with NdFeB stir elements. This great projection of magnetic field strength allows for experiments of up to 40 microplates using stainless steel stir elements and 95 microplates when using NdFeB stir elements on a VP 710E5.

Conclusion

Coating pins will reduce the total amount of liquid transferred and also reduce the amount of non-specific binding to the stainless-steel pins. If the substance you are transferring has high non-specific binding this will be an important factor in selecting your pins.

Transfer Of Horseradish Peroxidase In Tris Buffered Saline With Pin Tools

Conclusion

Although the slots in the pin are a precise volume, the liquid that is transferred is usually more. The reason for this is due to the surface tension of the liquid causing the liquid in the slot to “bow out” thus increasing the volume of the liquid in the slot. If is important for you to transfer exactly a certain volume we can make custom slots to match the surface tension characteristics of your liquid

2. Increasing the concentration of DNA does not significantly increase the volume of Tris buffer (aqueous) transferred by both coated and uncoated FP3S500 Slot Pins.
3. Increasing the concentration of BSA (Bovine Serum Albumin) significantly decreases the volume of Tris buffer transferred by both coated and uncoated FP3S500 Slot Pins.
4. Hydrophobic coated FP3S500 Slot Pins transferred less DMSO – DNA and less Tris DNA and less Tris BSA than the uncoated FP3S500 Slot Pins.
5. Both coated and uncoated FP3S500 pins transfer significantly more aqueous solution than DMSO.

Conclusions

1. In contrast to the FP3S500 data, increasing the concentration of DNA to .25 mg/ml does not significantly increase the volume of DMSO liquid transferred for both coated and uncoated FP1S50 Slot Pins.
2. Increasing the concentration of DNA does not significantly increase the volume of Tris buffer (aqueous) transferred by both coated and uncoated FP1S50 Slot Pins.
3. In contrast to the FP3S500 data, FP1S50 coated pins transferred about the same volume of DNA at all concentrations as did uncoated pins.
4. Both coated and uncoated FP1S50 pins transfer significantly more aqueous solution than DMSO.
5. The differences between the FP3S500 and the FP1S50 pin may be due to the different pin diameter’s effect on contact angle and therefore on the “wetting” of the pin. See the diagram on the link to / ah energy system.

Aqueous Transfer with Solid Pins

Hydrophobic coating pins will reduce the total amount of aqueous HRP liquid transferred and also reduce the amount of non-specific binding to the stainless-steel pins. If the substance you are transferring has high non-specific binding this will be an important factor in selecting your pins.

 

Pin diameter also has an effect on the degree of reduction of liquid transfer with hydrophobic coating as the smaller the diameter the less the reduction of transfer. This is most likely due to the curvature of the pin affecting the wetting contact angle

Aqueous Transfer with Slot Pins

Although the slots in the pin are a precise volume, the liquid that is transferred is usually more because of the volume carried on the sides of the pins. 

As seen with other aqueous data the amount transferred on hydrophobic coated Slot pins is less than on uncoated Solid or Slot pins. Thus Hydrophobic coating has the most effect on aqueous transfers.

Withdrawl Speeds Impact on Volume Transfer

Solid Pins More affected by Source Plate Volume

Volume Transferred For FP1 Pins (Uncoated) In 96 And 384 Formats
Volume Transferred For FP3 Pins (Uncoated) In 96 And 384 Formats

Note: Same volume (200ul for 96 Format and 74 ul for 384 Format) in recipient plates and same pin withdrawal speed for all pins. Changes to pin withdrawal speed or volume in the source plate can result in different volumes being transferred.

Transfer volumes should always be confirmed by customers for their assay conditions and automated system.
