DF-101 Series Model Comparison
All five DF-101 collector-type heating magnetic stirrers share the same platform: stainless steel bath, room temperature to 300°C with ±1°C control (PT100 sensor and solid-state relay circuit), 0–2600 rpm stepless stirring, PTFE-coated neodymium stir bar, water or oil as the heat-transfer medium, 220V/50Hz supply and digital temperature display with knob adjustment. The models differ in maximum stirring capacity and bath size:
- DF-101Z — up to 800 ml, bath φ150×100 mm; compact unit for sample-scale stirring.
- DF-101S — up to 2000 ml, bath φ220×90 mm; a separable-bath version is available on request for easier cleaning.
- DF-101T-5 — up to 5000 ml, bath φ250×130 mm.
- DF-101T-10 — up to 10000 ml, bath φ300×200 mm.
- DF-101T-15 — up to 15000 ml, bath φ345×210 mm; the largest bath in the series.
A support rod is included with DF-101Z, DF-101S and DF-101T-5 for mounting condensers or thermometers above the bath.
Applications
- Sample stirring and dissolution in routine laboratory work
- Heated liquid mixing in a water or oil bath up to 300°C
- Small-batch laboratory preparation and formulation trials
- Reflux and condensation support alongside a recirculating chiller
- Teaching laboratories — see typical setups on the applications page
How to Choose a Magnetic Stirrer
Start with the working capacity, target temperature, medium compatibility, voltage and the equipment already in the process line. For quote-first procurement, share process details so UnionClay can recommend a model and matching support equipment.
- Match capacity with margin: up to 800 ml → DF-101Z; 1–2 L → DF-101S; 3–5 L → DF-101T-5; up to 10 L → DF-101T-10; up to 15 L → DF-101T-15.
- Choose the bath medium by temperature: water for lower-temperature work, heat-transfer oil for setpoints approaching 300°C.
- Check the bath diameter against your flask so the vessel sits fully in the heated zone.
- If the bath must be removed for cleaning between batches, ask about the separable-bath DF-101S variant.
- State voltage and any customization needs in the RFQ; site utilities affect delivery configuration.

FAQ
What temperature range and precision does the DF-101 series cover?
Room temperature to 300°C with ±1°C control accuracy, using a PT100 temperature sensor and solid-state relay circuit with digital display.
What stirring speed range is available?
0–2600 rpm stepless adjustment across all five models, driven by a PTFE-coated neodymium stir bar.
What information should I provide before requesting a quote?
Send the target capacity, working medium, temperature range, voltage, application and any customization needs. Attach an equipment list or process note if the stirrer must match existing devices.
Can UnionClay match this category with other process equipment?
Yes. UnionClay can match glass reactors, chillers, heating and cooling circulators, vacuum pumps, filtration equipment, rotary evaporators, distillation systems and related support equipment according to the workflow.
