Globe Scientific GHS-550 Series Hotplates and Magnetic Stirrers with PID Control and Glass Ceramic Surface
Product Description
The Globe Scientific GHS-550 series comprises advanced hotplates, magnetic stirrers, and combined hotplate magnetic stirrers designed for precise laboratory heating and robust solution mixing—essential equipment for biotechnology and molecular diagnostics workflows. Suitable for bioprocessing and synthetic biology applications, these benchtop units feature a compact design with a 7-inch chemical-resistant glass ceramic surface that ensures chemical inertness and ease of cleaning.
Key features include:
- Powerful 1000-watt heating element capable of achieving temperatures from ambient +5°C to 550°C with PID temperature control for accuracy within ±0.2°C when using optional PT1000 sensor.
- Stirring capabilities with a maintenance-free brushless DC motor providing strong magnetic coupling, supporting volumes up to 20 liters (GHS-550HSP) for homogeneous solution processing in cell imaging and biomanufacturing protocols.
- Easy-to-read LCD or LED displays with intuitive control knobs allow stable temperature and speed adjustments, critical for reproducible kinetic studies and molecular cloning workflows.
- Built-in overheating protection and a safety hot-plate warning system ensure operational safety in clinical diagnostics labs and biomedical engineering environments.
- The RS232 communication port on select models enables external PC control and data logging, optimizing integration into automated bioprocessing pipelines.
Specifications at a glance:
- Model GHS-550HSP: LCD display, stirring speed 100-1500 rpm, max stir volume 20 L, heating power 1000 W, working area 184 x 184 mm glass ceramic.
- Models GHS-550HS and GHS-550S: LED display or no display, up to 10 L stirring volume, 1000 W heating power.
- Compatible with 100-120 V 60Hz or 200-240 V 50Hz operations, dimensions approx. 215 x 360 x 108 mm, weight 3.8 to 5.3 kg depending on model.
This series is widely adopted in biotechnology research, particularly in molecular biology labs requiring precise temperature control and reliable magnetic stirring for assays like enzyme kinetics, live-cell imaging sample preparation, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. The glass ceramic hotplate surface enhances durability against corrosive reagents common in gene editing and synthetic biology workflows.
Overall, the GHS-550 series hotplates and stirrers provide essential, precise heating and mixing capabilities critical for advanced biological and chemical laboratory applications.
