The Guardian 5000 Series - The Next Generation in Laboratory Safety and Performance
The Guardian 5000 Series Hotplate Stirrers represent a significant advancement in laboratory equipment, combining cutting-edge technology with unparalleled safety features. As the next generation of Guardian stirrers, these models offer exceptional performance and reliability for a wide range of applications.
Uncompromised Safety
The Guardian 5000 Series incorporates the SafetyHeat™ system, an industry-leading early detection mechanism that uses dual independent safety controls to prevent over-temperature events. This safeguards valuable samples and protects both operators and the laboratory environment.
- Over-temperature protection: If the temperature of the heating plate exceeds the set limit, the SafetyHeat system will immediately shut off the power to prevent damage to the equipment or samples.
- Temperature calibration: The Guardian 5000 Series allows for regular calibration of the temperature sensor to ensure accurate and reliable readings, reducing the risk of over-heating or under-heating.
- Visual and audible alarms: In case of a safety event, the Guardian 5000 will activate both visual and audible alarms to alert the operator and prevent further damage.
- Independent safety controls: The dual independent safety controls provide redundancy and enhance the overall safety of the stirrer, even in the event of a failure in one of the systems.
RunDry Protection
The innovative RunDry Protection System provides additional safety during probe-controlled heating. If the probe tip is not immersed in the sample or if the sample level drops due to evaporation, the heating function is automatically shut off, and an alarm is sounded.
New Splash Guard for Enhanced Safety
The Guardian 5000 Series now features a new Splash Guard to further protect operators and the laboratory environment from accidental spills. The Splash Guard is designed to minimize the risk of splashes and spills, helping to prevent contamination and ensure a safer working environment.
Smart Features for Precise Control
The SmartHeat™ function allows you to set a maximum heating limit or disable heating altogether, making the Guardian 5000 suitable for heat-sensitive samples or environments.
The SmartRate™ feature offers customizable stirring and heating speeds, ranging from fast and intensive to soft and precise. This provides greater control and flexibility for various laboratory tasks, such as:
- Gentle mixing of delicate samples: For applications like cell culture or protein purification, the SmartRate allows for slow and gentle stirring to prevent damage to sensitive materials.
- Efficient heating of viscous solutions: When working with thick or viscous substances, the SmartRate can be adjusted to provide a higher stirring speed to ensure thorough mixing and even heating.
- Precise temperature control: For experiments that require precise temperature regulation, the SmartRate can be used in conjunction with the SmartHeat function to maintain the desired temperature while avoiding over-heating.
- Consistent stirring of large volumes: For applications involving large volumes of liquid, the SmartRate can be set to a higher speed to ensure proper mixing and prevent sedimentation.
A built-in RS232 port enables data logging for GLP compliance and remote control from a PC, streamlining workflow and enhancing data management.
