Guardian 3000 Hotplates & Stirrers

Description

The Guardian 3000 hotplate stirrers from Ohaus provide controlled heating and stirring functions for a variety of laboratory environments. These units feature a bright LCD display that clearly shows set and actual temperature values, stirring speed, and intuitive status icons. A prominent hot surface indicator illuminates when the plate temperature exceeds 40°C, serving as a visual safety warning. The temperature can be controlled from just above ambient (RT+5°C) up to 500°C, with stirring speeds adjustable from 80 to 1600 rpm. With a maximum working capacity of 15 liters, they are offered in multiple plate sizes to accommodate different vessel dimensions. An optional external temperature probe can be used for more precise sample temperature regulation. The housing includes design elements for practicality, such as integration points for accessory rods. This model series is positioned as a cost-effective instrument for laboratories needing basic digital feedback for their thermal and mixing processes.
