1. Introduction
AMI is specially designed for titrations, and particularly for those in which optimum lighting condition are needed in order to
see the final point of colour change well. This magnetic stirrer is illuminated.
The lighted stirrer plate is particularly recommended for titrations that have weak colour changes during conversion. By the
switch i
t’s possible turn on the lighted stirrer plate. The stirrer stay cold even after several days of continuous use. This
feature makes it highly appreciated in microbiology and biochemistry.
NOTE
