Globe Scientific GHS-550 Series Hotplates and Magnetic Stirrers with PID Control and High-Temperature Heating
Product Description
The Globe Scientific GHS-550 Series comprises advanced laboratory hotplates and magnetic stirrers engineered for precise heating and mixing in biotechnology and molecular diagnostics research. These units feature a durable 7-inch chemical-resistant glass ceramic surface optimized for easy cleanup and extended service life, ideal for bioprocessing and synthetic biology workflows.
Key technical specifications include:
- Heating power: Robust 1000-watt heaters supporting temperatures up to 550°C, with overheating protection at 580°C.
- Temperature control: Microprocessor and PID-controlled circuits (GHS-550HSP model) ensure accurate thermal regulation within ±0.2°C, critical for molecular cloning and live-cell assay preparation.
- Display & Interface: The GHS-550HSP model includes an LCD display for precise monitoring of speed and temperature plus an RS232 port enabling remote control, data logging, and PC integration—useful in automated biomanufacturing environments. Other models provide easy-to-read LED displays and intuitive analog controls for streamlined operation.
- Stirring capabilities: Maintenance-free brushless DC motors deliver strong magnetic coupling for reliable mixing of volumes up to 10L (GHS-550HS, GHS-550S) or 20L (GHS-550HSP), ensuring solution homogeneity essential in cell imaging and fluorescence analysis. Stirring speed ranges from 0 to 1500 rpm with standard 80mm stir bars.
- Design: Compact, low-profile footprint conserves valuable benchtop space in biotechnology labs and clinical diagnostics facilities. The glass ceramic surface is resistant to chemical damage, supporting demanding research environments.
These hotplates and magnetic stirrers are widely adopted in synthetic biology research and biopharmaceutical production pipelines, supporting workflows such as gene editing reagent preparation and molecular diagnostics sample processing. Optional PT1000 external temperature sensors and retort stands are available for direct vessel temperature measurement, enhancing process control and repeatability.
Overall, the GHS-550 series delivers reliable thermal and stirring performance tailored for advanced laboratory applications in biotechnology, biomedical engineering, and clinical research.
