Or you can build your own magnetic stirrer for less than half that price - with parts from Jaycar...

yeah at $225 it is a bit of an ask, especially when you wonder how much better than the occasional shake it will be..

Trough would you have a link to how to do that by any chance?

cheers

No probs...

Grab your soldering iron, click here and away you go!

Sure - they're cheap and easily bought - what you need is a decent sized magnet mounted on the fan. Mine is a nice and big elliptical magnet that Jaycar sells. Should move any sized stirbar in any sized flask...

depending on the magnet strength you need if you have a failed PC hard drive laying about, steal the magnets out of that. they are a fairly crazy strength and might be over kill though.

Yep, the hard drive magnets do a good job...
