2mag bioMIXdrive 2 magnetic stirrer
The 2mag bioMIXdrive 2 magnetic stirrer is a powerful stirring system for demanding applications in chemical, biological and pharmaceutical laboratories. Developed for precise, reliable and safe stirring, this device sets standards for the uniform mixing of a wide variety of media and is the first choice when hygienic, robust and submersible stirring solutions are required. Compared to other magnetic stirrers available on the market, the bioMIXdrive 2 impresses with its fully submersible design (IP68), high stirring capacity of up to 10 litres total volume and maximum control precision - especially for sensitive or aggressive substances.
Powerful and robust stirring technology for professional requirements
With a high-quality stainless steel construction, the device offers a durable and low-maintenance solution that is specially designed for continuous operation, harsh conditions and intensive cleaning cycles. The two independent stirring points enable parallel processes, which saves time and significantly increases efficiency in the laboratory.

The combination of high stirring power (6 watts max.) and stable magnetic drive guarantees homogeneous mixing even of liquids with increased viscosity, such as culture media, emulsions or suspensions. The distance between the stirring points of 140 mm allows even larger beakers or bottles to be used in parallel.
The external control allows the stirring speed to be precisely adjusted to different applications, enabling sensitive cell cultures to be processed gently or chemical reactions to be controlled with precision.
Special features and safety standards
The housing, made entirely of stainless steel, is resistant to aggressive reagents and is easy to clean and disinfect - crucial in GMP areas, laboratories and clean rooms. With protection class IP68, the device is not only protected against dust, but also completely protected when fully immersed in water. This makes it particularly suitable for applications in wet or immersion environments as well as for CIP scenarios.
The magnetic stirrer complies with all relevant EU safety and health standards and is CE certified. In addition, product liability insurance and the traceable certificate offer documented safety and traceability - important criteria for audits and in pharmaceutical production.
Typical areas of application and specific application examples
This stirring system is designed to optimally cover a wide range of applications in industry and research:
-
Chemical syntheses: Safe and homogeneous mixing of solvents, reagents or polymers - even with aggressive chemicals such as acetones, ethanol or chlorinated solvents.
-
Biotechnology: Efficient cultivation and mixing of microorganisms, cell cultures or enzyme suspensions in sterile media, e.g. for fermentation preparations with E. coli or S. cerevisiae.
-
Pharmaceutical research and development: Reproducible formulation of suspensions and emulsions, for example in the production of vaccine bases or test drug preparations.
-
Food and beverage industry: Development of flavours, emulsifiers and additives in laboratory batches - ideal for producing mixtures with a high degree of homogeneity.
Other typical substances for use are culture media, buffer solutions, laboratory chemicals, detergents and biological samples.
FAQ - Frequently asked questions
How is the stirring speed controlled?
The rotation speed is controlled externally via a specially designed control unit. This allows for very fine and precise adjustment depending on the medium or desired process.
Is the device really completely submersible?
Yes, thanks to its IP68 design, the magnetic stirrer can be completely submerged in water or other liquids without damaging the electronics or mechanics. Operation is fully guaranteed at up to +50 °C when submerged.
For which liquids is the magnetic stirrer particularly suitable?
Thanks to its stainless steel construction, the device is suitable for almost all common laboratory liquids, whether aggressive (e.g. strong acids/bases), organic (such as solvents) or biological (cell culture media, buffers).
What are the advantages of the submersible design compared to conventional magnetic stirrers?
The hermetically sealed housing allows thorough cleaning (e.g. CIP), use in humid environments and increases durability, as no moisture or chemicals can penetrate the interior.
What certifications are available?
The device is CE certified, offers traceability and meets the highest documentation and safety requirements (including product liability insurance).
Summary
The bioMIXdrive 2 magnetic stirrer impresses with its well-thought-out design, highest safety and quality standards (IP68, CE, hygienic design) and flexible functionality. Its high stirring performance in parallel operation at two stirring points makes it a versatile and indispensable tool for professional laboratory applications - especially where reliability and maximum cleanliness are required.
