Product description

Laboratory hotplates and magnetic stirrers with 1000W heater, up to 550°C, glass ceramic surface, and 20L stirring capacity.

The Globe Scientific GHS-550 series comprises a range of laboratory-grade hotplates and magnetic stirrers designed for precise heating and mixing applications essential in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing research. Featuring a durable 7-inch chemical-resistant glass ceramic working surface, the units offer easy cleaning and long service life while conserving benchtop space with their compact footprint.

  • Models & Controls:
  • GHS-550HSP: Equipped with an LCD display and PID temperature control for accurate temperature regulation within ±0.2°C, including overheating protection.
  • GHS-550HS & GHS-550H: Utilize intuitive LED displays and analog knobs for temperature and stirring speed settings, supported by a microprocessor-controlled circuit ensuring stable performance.
  • GHS-550S: Magnetic stirrer-only model for up to 10L solutions.
  • Heating and Temperature:
  • Powerful 1000W heater delivers temperatures from ambient +5°C up to 550°C, suitable for heating biological samples, buffers, and reagents in live-cell imaging and synthetic biology workflows.
  • Optional PT1000 external temperature sensor and retort stand enhance temperature accuracy and direct vessel monitoring.
  • Safety features include automatic overheating protection activating at 580°C and a visual “hot” warning above 50°C.
  • Stirring Performance:
  • Brushless DC motor ensures maintenance-free, strong magnetic coupling for efficient mixing.
  • Stirring capacity ranges from 10L (GHS-550HS, GHS-550S) up to 20L (GHS-550HSP), supporting homogeneous mixing required in biomanufacturing and analytical chemistry.
  • Stirring speed adjustable from 0 to 1500 rpm with 80mm stir bar compatibility.
  • Connectivity and Compatibility:
  • GHS-550HSP includes an RS232 port enabling remote control and data transmission, facilitating integration into laboratory automation and molecular cloning workflow systems.
  • Specifications:
  • Working Area: 184mm x 184mm (7 x 7 inches)
  • Voltage: 100-120V 60Hz or 200-240V 50Hz
  • Dimensions: 215 x 360 x 108 mm (8.5 x 14.2 x 4.3 inches)
  • Weight Range: 3.8 to 5.3 kg depending on model
  • Operating Conditions: 5-40°C, 80% relative humidity non-condensing

The GHS-550 series hotplates and magnetic stirrers are widely adopted in biotechnology labs and clinical diagnostics, providing reliable thermal control and powerful mixing essential for enzyme reactions, cell culture preparation, and bioprocess optimization. Their precision temperature monitoring and stirring capabilities make them critical equipment in molecular biology, synthetic biology research, and related life science applications.

Why Questpair exists

Lab equipment markets are fragmented. Buyers spend weeks calling distributors, comparing quotes, and verifying supplier reliability. Sellers struggle to reach global research labs.

We built Questpair to fix this. Every supplier on the platform is verified before listing. Every quote you receive comes from a real, vetted seller. AI prepares your case in minutes, then a real specialist takes over.

We're an independent team based in The Netherlands, working with research labs and procurement teams across Europe and worldwide.

Frequently asked questions

How long does laboratory equipment typically last?

With a service contract, ten to fifteen years is normal for most benchtop instruments. Detectors and pumps are the parts that wear first.

Can I get service for older equipment?

Yes. Every verified supplier states which service partners cover the instrument, and we list that alongside the offer.

Where can I buy parts?

Ask a scientist through the request button. Parts are often available even when the instrument itself is discontinued.

What is the typical lead time for refurbished equipment?

Two to six weeks, depending on refurbishment scope and whether calibration is included.

Does laboratory equipment ship internationally?

We ship to 38 countries. Crating and customs handling are quoted with the instrument.
