Block 1 × Microplate , Ambient -10° to 60 °C

The H5000-MP is the standard microplate heat block for the H5000 MultiTherm Shaker chassis — sold at $540. Universe spec: Ambient -10 °C to 60 °C — narrower temperature range than other H5000 blocks (which reach 100 °C), reflecting the standard microplate plastic temperature limit (~60 °C is the typical degradation threshold for polystyrene microplates).

For full H5000 block family detail, see the H5000-02 (block-family anchor) page.

Key Specifications

When to Pick the Standard Microplate Block

Pick the H5000-MP when:

• Workflow uses standard (shallow-well) microplates at ≤60 °C operating temperature
• Cell-based assays at physiological-range temperatures (37 °C typical, far below 60 °C limit)
• Sub-ambient cold-hold for plate-format samples (paired with H5000-HC chassis)

Step up to H5000-DWMP ($540 same price) for deep-well microplates with wider temperature range.

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm microplate format compatibility at quote — verify intended plates fit standard footprint.

Plan temperature range — keep workflow ≤60 °C to preserve plate integrity.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, plate format, intended temperature range, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.

H5000 microplate block pair: H5000-MP (this product, standard microplate, $540) and H5000-DWMP (deep-well microplate, $540). Pick by plate-well depth.
