A magnetic stirring setup for applications in ultrafast spectroscopy of photo-sensitive solutions

Rev Sci Instrum. 2015 Mar;86(3):033101. doi: 10.1063/1.4911406.

Abstract

An exchange system is presented, which allows ultrafast experiments with high excitation rates (1 kHz) on samples with reaction cycles in the range of a few seconds and small sample volumes of about 0.3 ml. The exchange is accomplished using a commercially available cuvette by the combination of a special type of magnetic stirring with transverse translational motion of the sample cuvette.
