The GHS-550 group of Hotplates, Magnetic Stirrers and Magnetic Stirrer Hotplates offer safety and precision for laboratory heating and mixing applications. The compact and low-profile design saves valuable benchtop space and a 7" chemical resistant glass ceramic working surface ensure years of service and easy cleanup.
- Simple, intuitive operation
- Maintenance-free brushless DC motor
- Small footprint saves valuable bench space
- Powerful 1000 W heater
- Easy-to-clean glass ceramic surface
- Easy-to-read LCD or LED display for simple, clear control
- Powerful magnetic coupling for stirring up to 20 L
- Optional external temperature sensor control
Setting the heat and stirring speed is extremely intuitive with an LED display and control knobs, inputting to a microprocessor-controlled circuit for accurate, stable control of heating and stirring.
The GHS-550HSP model replaces the LED with an LCD display for precise monitoring of speed and temperature. This hot plate magnetic stirrer also includes a built-in PID temperature control heating with overheating protection. A RS232 port offers remote function for communication, PC control and data transmission (software not included).
The Magnetic Stirrer and Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer are designed to provide a strong magnetic coupling for powerful mixing that is enabled by the maintenance free brushless DC motor. The stirrers can mix up to 10 L of water (GHS-550HS, GHS-550S) or 20 L of water (GHS-550HSP), which allows for excellent homogeneity of your solution.
The Hotplate and Hotplate Magnetic Stirrer models are designed with a powerful 1000 W heater that provides temperatures up to 550 °C. To gain even more accurate temperature control within 0.2 °C, an optional PT1000 sensor and retort stand are available to measure directly in the vessel. A 'hot' warning will flash if the work plate temperature is above 50 °C. Over temperature protection is included should temperatures reach 580 °C.
