Stirring a medium by means of a magnetic stirrer while checking the magnetic drive, associated apparatus

摘要

The present invention relates to a method of stirring a medium contained in a receptacle having at least one non-magnetic wall, the medium being stirred by means of a magnetic stirrer comprising a magnetic moving body placed in said medium on one side of said non-magnetic wall(s) and drive equipment for rotating said magnetic moving body disposed outside said medium on the other side of said non-magnetic wall. In characteristic manner, the method is implemented while continuously monitoring the magnitude of the magnetic attraction force between said magnetic object and the drive equipment therefor. The present invention also provides apparatus suitable for implementing said method.
