Stirrer Bar Retriever (Product Code: SCI-274/044) is a magnetic pick-up rod used to lift magnetic stirrer bars out of flasks, bottles and beakers in chemistry and biology laboratories. Its strong permanent magnet sits in a PTFE capsule on a screw-in PTFE shaft 8 mm in diameter and 350 mm long, slim enough for narrow-necked vessels, so the bar comes out without tipping out the contents — an everyday companion to any magnetic stirrer. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Once a solution has been mixed, the stirrer bar must come out before the liquid is made up to the mark, transferred or stored. Pouring risks losing the bar or spilling the sample, and fishing with forceps is awkward in a narrow neck. Lower the retriever until the magnet nears the bar, let the bar jump on to the PTFE tip, and lift it straight out. The 350 mm reach suits volumetric flasks, reagent bottles and round-bottom flasks alike.
PTFE resists most laboratory chemicals and has a non-stick surface, so the retriever can go into acidic, alkaline or solvent-based mixtures and be rinsed clean afterwards. When stirring on a hot plate magnetic stirrer, let the liquid cool before retrieving the bar, and keep the magnet away from electronic balances when it is stored.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, supplies the Stirrer Bar Retriever to school, college, research and quality-control laboratories and to dealers in India and international markets. It is often added to the same enquiry as magnetic stirrers, stirrer bars and glassware. Company information is on the ScienceLab profile page.

What are the dimensions of the Stirrer Bar Retriever?
The Stirrer Bar Retriever is 8 mm in diameter and 350 mm long. The slim shaft passes through the narrow necks of flasks and bottles while still reaching the bottom of taller vessels to collect the stirrer bar.
What is the Stirrer Bar Retriever made of?
The Stirrer Bar Retriever has a strong permanent magnet enclosed in a PTFE capsule, attached to a screw-in PTFE shaft. PTFE resists most laboratory chemicals and does not stick easily, so the retriever cleans up readily after use.
Will the Stirrer Bar Retriever work in a narrow-necked flask?
Yes. The Stirrer Bar Retriever is especially useful for vessels with a narrow opening. Make sure the stirrer bar itself is small enough to pass back through the neck, because the retriever lifts the bar out the same way it went in.
How should the Stirrer Bar Retriever be cleaned and stored?
Rinse the Stirrer Bar Retriever with water or a suitable solvent after each use and wipe it dry. Store it where the magnet cannot pick up metal debris, and away from electronic balances and other magnet-sensitive equipment.
Who supplies the Stirrer Bar Retriever?
The Stirrer Bar Retriever is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to laboratories, institutions and dealers in India and international markets, alone or with stirrers and stirrer bars.
