These are worthy of constant use!

I use stir bars a lot. I needed some and just happened to come across this kind. Some times you have to use these in really aggressive chemicals. Ptfe is not completely chemically resistant. They do last a long time though. Picture one old kind on the right new on the left. Also in this picture you can see a rough size comparison. Well these new ones are about double the weight of others I have. I would advise caution just dropping these in glass containers I have broke beakers doing that in the past with other ones that weigh less. The magnetism however is also double strength roughly. It is very strong. Picture two you can see the biggest one in use on a hotplate stirrer. It had no problem holding on at the highest rpm the hotplate would go. Some times you need really vigorous agitation. For that these will be great you can see a wild whirl pool as proof. Adding to the positives the price is really reasonable. I do believe this is ptfe. You can usually tell by taking off a small bit and burning it the fluorine smell is un-mistakable. I had a hard time smelling it over other chlorine smells that were lingering in the area. I put it in hot nitric acid to be sure for 30 mins and let it sit for another 12 hours. Its perfectly fine still. The only things I didn't like were that some of the coatings were not uniform. As well as these magnets seemed to always default to the flat side, and they were a tiny bit un balanced, but it was not really a problem. All good for budget stir bar kit though.

The Biomed Scientific Magnetic Stir Bar set had done a great job. My son used them with a stir plate to finish a project for one of his advanced placement classes. They are a nice variety of sizes, and they all had a good even coating of teflon/PTFE material on them. They clean easily after use and store nicely in the included case. I would recommend this set for the overall value and performance. I hope our experience is helpful to you and you kindly will click the button below.
