Globe Scientific GHS-550 Series Hotplates and Magnetic Stirrers with Glass Ceramic Surface
Product Description
The Globe Scientific GHS-550 series comprises advanced hotplates and magnetic stirrers designed for laboratory heating and mixing applications, widely utilized in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and bioprocessing workflows. These devices feature a compact footprint and a durable 7-inch glass ceramic working surface that ensures chemical resistance and easy decontamination critical for sterile and reproducible biomanufacturing environments.
Key technical features include:
- Heating power: Robust 1000W heaters delivering temperature control from ambient +5°C up to 550°C, suitable for precise sample heating in biochemical assays and synthetic biology protocols.
- Temperature control: Microprocessor-controlled circuits with LED or LCD displays (GHS-550HSP model includes PID temperature control and ±0.2°C accuracy with optional PT1000 sensor), providing stable and precise thermal regulation essential for live-cell imaging and enzyme kinetics studies.
- Magnetic stirring: Maintenance-free brushless DC motors enable powerful magnetic coupling for effective mixing, capable of stirring volumes up to 20 liters (GHS-550HSP) or 10 liters (GHS-550HS and GHS-550S), ensuring homogenous solutions in molecular cloning and cell culture media preparation.
- User interface: Intuitive analog knobs with digital display feedback allow seamless adjustment of stirring speed (0–1500 rpm) and heating, supporting optimized protocols in neuroimaging sample prep and biomedical engineering research.
- Safety features: Overtemperature protection activates at 580°C, combined with visual hot surface warnings above 50°C, ensuring operational safety in clinical diagnostics labs.
- Connectivity: RS232 port on select models (GHS-550HSP) enables remote control and data logging, facilitating integration into automated synthetic biology and biomanufacturing systems (software not included).
The GHS-550 series is essential for researchers requiring reliable and precise temperature and mixing control during extensive biotechnological workflows such as gene editing reagent preparation, protein crystallization, and molecular cloning. Its compatibility with optional external temperature sensors permits advanced thermal monitoring directly in vessels, elevating experimental accuracy in biochemical and pharmaceutical production pipelines.
This product lineup is popular among molecular biology researchers and laboratory buyers seeking versatile, space-saving equipment for high-throughput and sensitive bioprocessing applications.
