Laboratory Hotplate Digital 550°C | Globe Scientific GHS-550H 220V UK/EU

The laboratory hotplate GHS-550H-UK-EU from Globe Scientific operates on 200-240V for international labs. This model features the same 550°C capacity, 1000-watt heater, and 7×7 inch glass ceramic surface as the US version, optimized for UK and European electrical systems.

Laboratory Hotplate GHS-550H UK/EU Features

International research facilities get the full performance of the GHS-550 platform: glass ceramic plate with chemical resistance, LED display, microprocessor-controlled heating, and a hot warning indicator at 50°C surface temperature. Overtemperature protection at 580°C adds safety for high-heat protocols.

An optional PT1000 sensor and retort stand enable direct vessel measurement within ±0.2°C. The compact design fits standard European laboratory benchtops and fume hoods efficiently.

Technical Specifications

High-Temperature Hotplate Applications

European analytical laboratories use this hotplate for acid digestion, high-temperature evaporation, and demanding heating that requires temperatures beyond 380°C. University labs benefit from the large surface area and robust safety features suited for teaching environments.

The 7-inch working surface supports larger glassware for scale-up chemistry and batch sample processing common in industrial QC laboratories across UK and EU markets.

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 the difference between GHS-550HS and GHS-550HSP hotplate stirrers?

The GHS-550HSP upgrades to an LCD display, built-in PID temperature control, 20L stirring capacity, and an RS232 port for PC data logging. The GHS-550HS uses an LED display and stirs up to 10 liters.

Can I connect the GHS-550HSP to a computer for data logging?

Yes. The GHS-550HSP includes an RS232 serial port for remote PC communication, control, and temperature data transmission. Software is sold separately from the instrument manufacturer.

What plate size and maximum temperature does the GHS-550 series offer?

The GHS-550 series features a 7×7 inch glass ceramic plate rated to 550°C with a 1000W heater. A hot warning LED illuminates when plate temperature exceeds 50°C for operator safety.
