4 Startup procedure Thermo Scientific has developed a new magnetic stirring bar KOMET (Figure 6). It contains a high-quality super-strong samarium-cobalt magnet. KOMET shows a strong magnetic force. The stronger attraction to the magnetic alternating field provides the stirring bar with very efficient stirring properties. Even if there are greater distances (e.g.

Programs can be selected only if the stirrer has been turned off. When the stirrer is turned on, the last program selected will be active. Speed, stirring power, and stirring mode settings are stored as a part of the currently active program. Figure 10: Stirring display 50108226_02.2007 Thermo Scientific...
Place a magnetic stirring bar into every stirring vessel. Place the stirring vessel on the stirring point (1) of the magnetic stirrer. Select a program key (9).

The rotation speed is reduced at the end of every stirring period, and the stirring is stopped. After every pause the stirrer is restarted. The direction of rotation is reversed, the magnetic stirring bars are recentered and the rotation speed is slowly increased again. 50108226_02.2007 Thermo Scientific...
Increase the stirring power of the TELEMODUL 20 C / 40 C. If the stirring action is too weak: Use the magnetic stirring bar KOMET. Use a longer magnetic stirring bar or one with a larger diameter, or a stirring vessel of smaller diameter. Thermo Scientific 50108226_02.2007...

Remove and replace the magnetic stirring bar with a new one. Use the KOMET series of super-strong magnetic stirring bars offered by Thermo Scientific (see chapter 4.3). They are made from high-performance Samarium-Cobalt magnets. Any risk of demagnetisation by external magnetic fields is completely eliminated.
