Lab Equipment & Essentials
The Incu-Shaker™ Mini HC heating and cooling shaking incubator is the most compact cooling shaking incubator in its class. Despite the remarkably small footprint, a large 11.5 x 9.5 in. work space accepts several platforms and a variety of flasks, tubes and other common vessels. This model offers whisper quiet Peltier based cooling with a temperature control range from -8°C below ambient to 50°C which is ideal for applications requiring precise incubation at or below ambient temperatures.
The standard platform (included) features a non-slip, rubber coated surface, ideal for tissue culture flasks, Petri dishes and staining trays.
Our revolutionary MAGic Clamp™ (PATENTED) platform is also available to accommodate Erlenmeyer flasks up to 1 L, along with a wide variety of tubes, microplates, culture flasks, Petri dishes, and other laboratory vessels. The unique, magnetic attachment method allows the user to instantly change between flask clamps of different sizes anywhere on the platform. Unlike traditional screw in platforms, there is no need for tools and the user is not restricted to predetermined placement of the clamps or racks.
In addition to the intuitive control panel, there is an advanced mode that features step programming to change the parameters at timed intervals.
The new Incu-Shaker™ Mini HC—setting yet another Benchmark
The MC-24R is a compact, high-speed refrigerated microcentrifuge designed to provide powerful performance and precise temperature control for a wide range of laboratory applications. Featuring an intuitive touchscreen control panel, the MC-24R offers speeds up to 13,500 rpm and 16,800 xg, with refrigeration capable of maintaining temperatures as low as -20°C.
The included COMBI-Rotor™ accommodates both standard 1.5/2.0 mL microtubes and 0.2 mL PCR tubes or strips, eliminating the need for a dedicated PCR rotor. Optional rotors are available for additional tube formats, including a hermetically sealed rotor and four-place PCR strip rotor.
The MC-24R provides adjustable acceleration and deceleration rates, real-time rpm and RCF conversion, and storage for up to 99 programs. A convenient status indicator light shows whether the unit is running, in standby, or has completed a run. With its compact design, powerful refrigeration, and versatile rotor options, the MC-24R is well suited as a reliable workhorse for molecular biology and other laboratory applications.
The MC-24 Touch is a high-speed microcentrifuge featuring an intuitive full-color touchscreen. Reaches speeds up to 13,500 rpm and 16,800 xg, The touchscreen displays actual speed in rpm or RCF, along with set and remaining run time, while allowing users to store up to nine speed/time profiles and quickly recall a designated favorite using the mySpin™ function.
The included COMBI-Rotor™ accommodates 24 × 1.5/2.0 ml microtubes, two strips of 0.2 ml PCR tubes (16 tubes), and up to 12 spin column kits without requiring separate adapters. An optional rotor is also available for 5 mL tubes and cryovials. A proprietary airflow system helps keep samples cool during operation, even during extended runs at maximum speed.
The myBath series is designed to guarantee superior accuracy and performance in a compact footprint. With four sizes to choose from, there is a myBath to fit every lab.
The 4, 8 and 12L models include easy to use controls allow the user to digitaly select and monitor settings. Adjustable in 0.1ºC* increments, the temperature is shown on a large, 3-digit display*. The proprietary Quik-CAL™ feature allows for simple, in-lab calibration.* High efficiency insulation maintains temperature stability and uniformity within the bath, while keeping the housing cool to the touch.
All myBath models feature seamless, stainless steel chambers for easy cleaning and long life The chambers resist rust and have no corners to collect dirt or contamination. The larger 8L and 12L units have drains for hassle-free water changes. The 4L, 8L, and 12L models include a see-through cover that can be removed, or flipped back on a rear hinge to conserve bench space. The lid’s gabled design will divert condensation to the front and back of the bath, away from samples.
Racks are available to accommodate 1.5/2.0ml, 15ml and 50 ml tubes within the 4L, 8L and 12L baths. The myBath 4L is supplied with all three racks.
*myBath 2L (Item: B2000-2), has a 2-digit display and can be controlled in increments of 1.0C

Benchmark’s myBath™ CR circulating water baths offer the same accuracy and convenience of our static myBath™ series, but with faster heat ramping and enhanced stability/uniformity. With constant circulation, water temperature is uniform throughout the chamber, eliminating “cold-spots” and allowing for quick recovery following insertion of frozen samples.
The myBath™ CR utilizes digital PID processing control that accurately maintains and adjusts the temperature to the set parameters. Once the desired temperature has been programmed, the instrument begins to heat, while indicating both the set and actual temperatures on the large, digital display.
The chamber and heating coil are constructed of stainless steel, resulting in easy cleaning. Optional accessories are available for securing test-tubes and an optional gabled lid can be purchased to improve efficiency.

Benchmark’s myBlock series is a “next generation” product line that introduces several major advantages over traditional dry baths. They are the first digital dry baths to include advanced microprocessor controls, timed or continuous operation and a removable hinged lid. In addition, an optional external temperature feedback probe can be positioned directly inside a sample tube, providing real-time control and monitoring of actual sample temperature.
The myBlock’s transparent lid helps to promote better uniformity and minimize temperature stratification in the block by maintaining a warm air jacket layer. It also helps to reduce energy consumption by minimizing heat loss to the environment. The hinged lid can be flipped open (to the rear), or easily removed (lifted off) to accommodate taller tubes.
Both the single and dual block models can be ordered in a configuration that includes our unique Quick-Flip™ blocks. These universal blocks accept tubes from 0.5 to 2.0ml and, with just a quick flip to the other side, accomodate 0.2ml tubes, PCR strips or (in the dual block model only) a PCR plate. Other blocks are available for tubes up to 50ml.
