Laboratory Hotplate Digital 380°C | Globe Scientific GHS-380H Ceramic 5.5×5.5

The laboratory hotplate from Globe Scientific delivers reliable digital heating in a compact footprint. Model GHS-380H reaches temperatures up to 380°C using a powerful 500-watt heater, making it well suited for general chemistry, sample preparation, and routine heating tasks in any research or clinical laboratory.

Laboratory Hotplate GHS-380H Features

A ceramic-coated aluminum top plate provides excellent chemical resistance and uniform heat distribution across the 5.5×5.5 inch surface. The digital LCD display and simple control knobs connect to a microprocessor circuit for stable, accurate temperature management throughout extended heating runs.

Overtemperature protection activates automatically at 420°C to safeguard samples and equipment during unattended operation. The low-profile design conserves valuable bench space in crowded laboratory environments where every square inch matters.

Technical Specifications

Laboratory Hotplate Applications

Research laboratories use this hotplate for solvent evaporation, sample digestion, and general heating workflows. Clinical labs rely on it for staining procedures, slide warming, and reagent preparation.

Educational institutions benefit from the simple, intuitive controls that require minimal training. Optional PT1000 sensor and retort stand enable direct vessel measurement within ±0.5°C for temperature-critical applications.

Why Choose Globe Scientific Hotplates

Globe Scientific hotplates and stirrers are engineered for laboratory professionals who need dependable daily performance. Each unit undergoes quality testing before shipment, and the microprocessor-controlled circuits maintain accuracy across thousands of heating cycles. The ceramic and glass ceramic surfaces resist common laboratory solvents including acetone, ethanol, methanol, and dilute acids.

Compared to consumer-grade heating equipment, these laboratory-rated hotplates include safety certifications, overtemperature protection, and optional sensor feedback that industrial and academic labs require for compliance and sample protection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a laboratory hotplate used for?

A laboratory hotplate provides controlled surface heating for boiling, evaporating, drying, and warming samples. The GHS-380 series handles temperatures from ambient to 380°C with a ceramic-coated 5.5-inch plate for routine lab heating.

Can I use an external temperature sensor with the GHS-380?

Yes. Optional PT1000 sensors (GHS-S230 standard or GHS-S230G glass-coated) with a retort stand (GHS-STDSM) provide direct vessel measurement within ±0.5°C for closed-loop control.

What is the difference between the GHS-380H, GHS-380HS, and GHS-380S?

The GHS-380H is a hotplate only. The GHS-380HS adds magnetic stirring capability up to 5 liters. The GHS-380S is a stirrer only without heating. All share the same 5.5×5.5 inch ceramic platform.
