Lab Equipment & Essentials

Everlast 247 Rocker With an unprecedented 5 year limited warranty, Benchmark’s Everlast 247 Rocker is built to last. Twenty four hours a day, seven days a week . . . No problem! The powerful motor and heavy-duty drive system remain reliable and consistent, even under constant usage in a cold room (min. 0°C) or incubator (max. 65°C).

The rocking speed and tilt angle can easily be adjusted to vary between gentle and aggressive agitation. Both the standard platform and the (optional) stacking platform are constructed of stainless steel, preventing against any rusting or corrosion. The Everlast 247 is designed to provide years of uninterrupted service.

Benchmark Digital Dry Baths provide accurate “set and walk away” digital temperature selection, eliminating the need for external thermometers and repetitive “fine tuning” of a temperature control knob. Simply enter the desired temperature on the digital touchpad and the Benchmark Dry Bath provides accurate temperature with real time monitoring that continuously maintains the selected temperature within ±0.2°C. In addition, a digital timer is built into the touchpad display. Although it is not designed to shut off the heater, it can be used to alert the user that a chosen time interval has timed out.

The cavities of the high grade aluminum blocks are precision machined to match the conical size and shape of 0.5, 1.5, 2.0, 15 and 50ml tube sizes, providing unsurpassed temperature transfer. Assorted blocks are available for compatibility with nearly all common laboratory tubes and plates. Custom blocks are also available upon request.

All Benchmark dry baths offer a built-in user recalibration function, to guarantee long term temperature accuracy. Each dry bath includes an easy to use block lifter, with a temperature insulated handle for quick, convenient exchange of blocks, even while they’re still hot.

Benchmark Scientific Hotplates and Stirrers provide reliable performance and safe operation for everyday laboratory use. Our space efficient 7 x 7-inch hotplate/stirrer series features a durable, chemical resistant white ceramic top plate and advanced microprocessor controls. The constant monitoring system provides precise control of temperature with rapid heating and faster boiling times. In addition, the powerful motor drive system ensures efficient mixing in larger and more viscous samples.

Temperature and mixing speed can be viewed on the large digital display and a safety LED illuminates when the top plate temperature exceeds 50°C. An external temperature probe can also be used for applications that require precise control of sample temperature. The probe provides direct feedback to the microprocessor with constant monitoring and adjustments for maintaining the selected temperature in the sample within +/- 1°C. All models are compatible with borosilicate glass beakers and other vessels with up to 5 L maximum stirring volume. An optional clamp assembly (H3770-CS) is available for mounting thermometers, temperature probes, etc.

Benchmark Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR introduce a high-throughput, space saving shaking incubator system to the Incu-Shaker family. Now with stacking capability of up to 2 units, the Incu-Shaker™ 20 series are highly space-efficient without compromising on reliability or temperature performance. Thoroughly tested for years of reliable performance, the same proven brushless induction motor drive is featured as in other Incu-Shaker instruments. The high grade stainless-steel internal chambers provide temperature accuracy within ±0.1°C, and industry-leading uniformity within the chamber of ±0.5°C. The Incu-Shaker™ 20L features temperature control from 5°C above ambient temperatures up to 60°C. The 20LR features a built-in powerful compressor, allowing for cooling down to 4°C, even while the shaker is in use, up to 60°C. In addition to the intuitive control panel, there is an advanced mode that features step programming to change the parameters at timed intervals.

The increased chamber size now allows for up to 4 5-Liter Erlenmeyer flasks to be in use at once. Usable space is maximized by providing adjustable shelving above the shaker platforms, which can be used for incubation of Petri dishes, cell culture plates, or other smaller vessels. Even when two stacked units are working, the noise and vibration levels are significantly minimized by the advanced, computer-designed motor isolation system.

The Incu-Shaker™ 20 series feature a non-slip rubber mat platform, and can be outfitted with Benchmark’s MAGic Clamp™ universal magnetic platform. Magnetic flask attachment accessories can then be used, allowing for easy, toolless addition and removal of flasks from the shaker. Flask clamps of most sizes, tube racks, and other magnetic vessel holders are available and usable with the Incu-Shaker™ 20L and 20LR. The Incu-Shaker 20L and 20LR are now available for efficient, repeatable growth culture and other applications.

Incu-Shaker™ 10L is a heavy-duty performer, designed for heavy workloads and continuous use. Its outstanding temperature accuracy and uniformity are supported by proprietary heat distribution technology that ensures that temperatures are precisely maintained throughout the chamber. Inconsistencies due to stratification are reduced to negligible levels and the selected temperature is precisely maintained within 0.25%, even in the corners. In addition to the intuitive control panel, there is an advanced mode that features step programming to change the parameters at timed intervals.

The powerful brushless induction drive is designed for years of trouble-free service, even under continuous use conditions with heavy loads. Noise and vibration are minimized by an advanced, computer designed motor isolation system. Like other Incu-Shaker models, the 10L is built to last.

A standard, rubber mat platform is included and is ideal for use with tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes, staining trays and other flat vessels. The convenient MAGic Clamp™ platformis also available for use with Erlenmeyer flasks and test tube racks. The unique, magnetic attachment method (PATENTED) is the easiest way to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes.

Incu-Shaker CO2 Mini – Ideal for the culturing of non-adherent cells, the Incu-Shaker CO2 Mini combines a precision CO2 incubation chamber with an integral orbital shaker, providing the optimum conditions for suspension cell culture.

With our unique and proprietary heat distribution technology, the incubator provides the highest levels of temperature accuracy with minimal fluctuation (within 0.1°C). The six-side heating system in combination with a low speed internal fan uniformly spreads air throughout the stainless steel chamber (without air exchange from the external environment). For applications requiring solely gravity convection, this internal fan can be disabled, significantly reducing the concern of sample to sample contamination.

A beltless motor drive provides a horizontally circular shaking motion at a consistent 19mm orbit. The included platform (9.5 x 11.5 in.) can be used for low speed shaking of a variety of laboratory vessels, including Erlenmeyer flasks, culture plates and media bottles. For high speed mixing, a patented MAGic Clamp platform is available that allows for magnetic attachment of flask clamps and tube racks.
