The Cellular Magnetic Stirrer, 4‑Channel (MS‑C‑S4), is a dedicated, low‑speed magnetic stirrer engineered to provide gentle, protective, parallel mixing for up to four independent cell cultures in clinical, biopharmaceutical, and research laboratories. With a speed range of 5–200 rpm (adjustable in 1 rpm increments) and a maximum stirring capacity of 3 litres per channel (12 litres total), this instrument is optimised to maintain cell viability and support homogeneous distribution of nutrients and gases across multiple vessels simultaneously, even during extended culture periods.
Every Cellular Magnetic Stirrer, 4‑Channel (MS‑C‑S4) is factory‑calibrated and supplied with an individual performance certificate. The stepper motor delivers high torque even at the lowest speeds, ensuring smooth, reliable stirring across all four positions without compromising cell integrity. Each of the four cast‑aluminium work plates (φ105 mm) is corrosion‑resistant, water‑shedding, and easy to clean. The LED digital display provides immediate visual feedback of the actual stirring speed, while the programmable timer (0–49 min 59 sec) and multiple operational modes (constant, cyclic, dual‑speed, mixed cycle) allow the system to be tailored to a wide variety of culture and protocol requirements across each channel.
Key user‑focused features for cell culture applications include low‑speed, high‑torque operation to minimise shear stress; smooth start/stop ramping to prevent sudden agitation that could detach cells; four independent channels with 190 mm centre spacing to accommodate standard vessels without cross‑interference; and a compact, low‑profile chassis (450×395×90 mm) that is fully compatible with use inside standard CO₂ incubators, warm rooms, and cold rooms (5–40 °C, ≤80 % RH). The non‑water‑accumulating surface and IP21‑rated housing protect against condensation and minor spills. An RS232 data interface enables remote monitoring, direct PC control, and comprehensive data logging across all four channels, supporting GLP compliance and full experiment documentation. The instrument meets international safety standards (CE) and is supplied with a calibration certificate.
For the clinical cell culture scientist, bioprocessing specialist, and cancer researcher, the Cellular Magnetic Stirrer, 4‑Channel (MS‑C‑S4) delivers the gentle, reproducible, and incubator‑compatible stirring required for the successful parallel maintenance of suspension cells, the expansion of microcarrier‑based cultures, and the reliable production of cell‑based diagnostic and therapeutic products across multiple channels simultaneously. For the patient receiving advanced cell‑based therapies, this instrument helps ensure that cells are cultured under optimal, gentle conditions and are consistently of high quality, directly supporting safer, more effective treatments.
