How to use an overhead stirrer

An overhead stirrer is a common type of mixer that can be found in a professional lab. They are useful because they allow for ‘hands-free’ mixing. For example, an overhead stirrer is useful for products made with self-emulsifying emulsifiers such as Sucragel as you have to very slowly add carrier oils to Sucragel under constant stirring for an extended period of time (around 40 minutes). They can be used for dissolving powders into liquids and for cooling emulsions.
