ALab™ EcoStir Square Plate Magnetic Stirrer
Product Detail
The ALab™ EcoStir Square Plate Magnetic Stirrer is a compact bench stirrer built for electrochemistry measurement, water and environment monitoring, drug and food analysis, and liquid culture mixing. It handles up to 1.5 L of water across a 300 to 2000 rpm range set on a scale, and takes a magnetic bar up to 40 mm. A holder with clamp for a pH electrode or other sensor is part of the model, so you can take a reading in the vessel while it stirs. The work plate is PET for chemical resistance, the brushless DC motor is maintenance free, and the unit runs from 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz mains or a 12 V DC supply for mobile laboratory work. Instrument dimensions are 150 × 144 × 54 mm — a 150 × 144 mm footprint — and it weighs 0.3 kg. We confirm configuration and supplied items on your quotation.

Motor output power (1.2 W) and rated power (7.2 W) are separate figures. The 1.5 L capacity is for water — viscosity, vessel geometry, fill depth and bar size all change what a given setup will actually move. The 40 mm figure is the longest magnetic bar the plate takes. We do not specify torque, speed accuracy or a continuous-duty rating for this model; if your method depends on any of those, please let us know before ordering.
Plate shapes
The EcoStir is made in two work-plate geometries. We supply the square plate, listed on this page. The round-plate version shares the same motor, the same 300–2000 rpm range and the same 1.5 L water capacity, and differs only in plate shape and instrument depth.

What it is for
We supply the EcoStir for electrochemistry measurement, water and environment monitoring, drug and food analysis, and liquid culture mixing — the everyday stirring work where what you need is a dependable plate, a sensible capacity and somewhere to put the probe. It is the entry point to the ALab™ stirring range. If your method also calls for controlled heating, please let us know and we will confirm the right model for it. We do not specify a continuous-duty rating for this unit, so kindly let us know before planning extended or unattended runs.
FAQ
Does the EcoStir heat?
Heating is not part of this model's specification. If your method needs controlled heating as well as stirring, please let us know what you are running and we will confirm the right model from the ALab™ range.
Is the electrode holder included?
The holder with clamp for a pH electrode or other sensor is part of the model. We itemise exactly what ships — rod, clamp, any electrode or vessel — on your quotation. The electrode and flask shown in our product imagery are illustrative.
Can I run it from a 12 V supply?
Yes. The unit accepts 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz or 12 V DC, which is what makes it workable in a vehicle or a field cabin. Please let us know how you intend to power it and we will confirm the arrangement, the connector and any accessories you need on your quotation.
What is the largest stir bar it takes?
40 mm. Whether a bar ships with the unit depends on the configuration you order — If required, please let us know and we confirm that on your quotation.
What volume can it actually turn over?
We specify 1.5 L, and that figure is for water. Viscosity, vessel geometry, fill depth and bar size all change what a given setup will move, so treat 1.5 L as the upper limit for water rather than a general capacity. If you are stirring something appreciably thicker than water, please let us know and we will advise.
How precisely can I set the speed?
Speed is set on a scale rather than a digital display, and we do not specify a speed accuracy for this model. If your method needs a stated, repeatable rpm rather than a repeatable knob position, please let us know and we will point you to a model that gives you that.
What are the coloured designs on the plate?
Decorative plate designs are offered as a do-it-yourself option. Whether any ship with your unit depends on the configuration you order, and we help confirm that on your quotation if interested.
What does IP21 mean here?
IP21 covers solid objects of 12.5 mm and above, and vertically dripping water. It is not a rating for splashing, hosing or immersion, and it is not a rating for use in a flammable atmosphere. Keep that in mind when you site the unit.
