Stirrers to fit your reactors

Designed to fit your reactors, BPC’s agitation systems are available in a range of sizes and styles.

For glass reactors 500 mL to 2L, our agitation systems rely on a flexible agitation tube and an inserted stainless steel agitation rod, which provides clockwise or counterclockwise rotational movement. Driven by a high-quality brushless step motor, and available as a standalone product or full system.

For our larger bioreactors, powerful mechanical stirring is achieved using a propeller fitted stirrer rod with a range of mixing power available to suit your needs. 

New way of reliable mixing

If you are tired of weak mixing intensity for magnetic stirrers, irregular spin, and magnets that keep falling out of place, then our agitation systems are the right choice. With its integrated and user-friendly  mounting, our agitators are suitable for all your needs. Combining the best features from magnetic stirrers and overhead mechanical mixers and provides a superior agitation experience for laboratory usage. 

Standard Agitation System

Our unique agitation system that comes as standard with BPC Instrument systems (AMPTS, BPC Blue, Gas Endeavour) and can also be bought as a standalone motor kit. Controlled remotely by our AuroraTM software, the standard agitation system is compatible with GL45 laboratory models and is available in 500 mL, 1000 mL and 2000 ML sizes.

BPC® Move

BPC® Move is a compact standalone mechanical agitator ideal for easy, reliable mixing, dispersion and dissolution of particle-free solution and slurries. It combines the strength and reliability of mechanical agitation with the ease-of-use of magnetic stirring. Discover a new type of stirring that will improve user’s laboratory experience significantly.

BPC CSTR Agitator

The BPC CSTR Agitator is a long, brushless DC motor controlled agitator specifically designed for our CSTR bioreactors. Fitted with a propeller at the end of the shaft, the CSTR agitator ensures your bioreactors are mixed efficiently while allowing for both analogue or remote control (via our AuroraTM software).

 

BPC Strong Agitator

The BPC Strong Agitator is our bespoke agitator for tough stirring requirements. Like the CSTR agitator, it is a long, brushless DC motor controlled agitator specifically designed for our bioreactors. However, the Strong Agitator comes with more than double the torque to stir high viscosity mixtures.
