Clamps of various sorts attach the stirrer to the stand and the container to the mixing platform. Determinants for choosing an overhead stirrer include how large of a quantity needs to be mixed, the viscosity of the substance to be mixed, the required speed range, the programming and integration functions, and the sensors it includes, including one that allows for the monitoring of reaction progress as a function of viscosity change.<ref name=":0" />

An '''overhead stirrer''' is a laboratory device used for mixing, homogenizing, suspending, and recirculating large volumes or high-viscosity substances, which typically can't be handled by a [[magnetic stirrer]]. Most if not all overhead stirrers allow for the monitoring of reaction progress as a function of viscosity change.
