BENCHMARK RESEARCH
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about BENCHMARK RESEARCH from 3G Electric.
What is the speed range of Benchmark Research vortex mixers?
Benchmark Research vortex mixers in the 3G Electric catalog operate from 0 to 2,800 RPM. The models listed are fixed-speed units with no external speed control, designated as 'No Control' in the product description. They are intended for tube-based mixing of small liquid volumes, including resuspending pellets, homogenizing solutions, and blending reagents. The fixed-speed design simplifies operation and reduces setup time for repetitive tasks. Available part numbers include BV101, BV101-P, and BV101-R. Buyers should confirm tube compatibility and desired mixing action before selecting a model.
What are the temperature accuracy specifications for Benchmark Research water baths?
Benchmark Research general-purpose water baths are available in three capacities with different accuracy ratings. The 2 L model maintains temperature accuracy within ±0.2°C, while the 8 L and 12 L models maintain ±0.5°C. All units reach a maximum temperature of 100°C, feature stainless steel interiors, digital displays, and programmable controls, and operate on 115/230V AC. The programmable function allows timed or stepped temperature protocols. These baths are used for warming samples, thawing, and maintaining reagent temperatures. Accuracy figures apply under specified operating conditions; users should verify performance for critical applications.
What is the maximum working volume of the Benchmark Research benchtop homogenizer?
The Benchmark Research benchtop homogenizer (MPN D2400) has a maximum working volume of 24 mL and operates at a speed range of 4 to 7 meters per second. It is supplied with a 24-place tube holder, allowing multiple samples to be processed in a single run. The unit is designed for blending, emulsifying, and disrupting biological samples. It is a benchtop-mounted instrument with a standard plug. This homogenizer is suitable for laboratories that need consistent sample disruption across batches. Users should select tube types and volumes compatible with the specified working range.
What capacities are available for Benchmark Research general-purpose water baths?
Benchmark Research general-purpose water baths are offered in 2 L, 8 L, and 12 L capacities. All three models share common features: stainless steel interior, digital display, programmable controls, 115/230V AC operation, and a maximum temperature of 100°C. The 2 L unit provides ±0.2°C accuracy, while the 8 L and 12 L units provide ±0.5°C accuracy. Capacity selection depends on sample throughput and vessel size. The 2 L bath suits small-volume work, while the 8 L and 12 L baths accommodate larger containers or multiple samples simultaneously. All are benchtop units intended for laboratory use.
What is the tube capacity of the Benchmark Research stainless steel tube rack?
The Benchmark Research tube rack is a benchtop stainless steel unit that holds up to 30 tubes. It is finished in silver and designed for organized storage and easy access during sample processing. The stainless steel construction supports routine laboratory use and cleaning. This rack is suitable for holding standard test tubes during incubation, mixing, or temporary storage. It does not include temperature control or agitation. Buyers should confirm tube diameter compatibility with the rack's hole dimensions. The rack is part of the Benchmark Research lab storage accessory line available through 3G Electric.
How does 3G Electric support Benchmark Research product selection?
3G Electric supplies Benchmark Research laboratory equipment and provides SKU-level data, manufacturer part numbers, and specification details to support selection. For technical buyers, this includes speed ranges, temperature accuracy, working volumes, and voltage requirements. 3G Electric can assist with matching models to application needs, such as tube format for vortex mixers or capacity for water baths. The product line is available for global shipment. Quotes can be requested for individual units or multiple instruments. 3G Electric does not provide application-specific validation or calibration services; buyers should refer to manufacturer documentation for operating procedures and maintenance schedules.
