The H5000-12 is the 24-position 12 mm-diameter tube heat block for the H5000 chassis family — sold. Universe label specifies RPM range 200–1200 and temperature range ambient -10 °C to 100 °C — indicates this block pairs with a heating-shaker chassis with shaking + heating capability.
For full H5000 block family detail and chassis-pairing decision, see the H5000-02 (anchor) page.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM) — name typo: Universe name says "200-1200 rom" which is likely a typo for "RPM". Confirm exact RPM and temperature ranges, plus sub-ambient cooling capability ("Ambient -10 °C" implies the chassis can cool 10 °C below ambient — refrigerated heating-shaker chassis pairing) with Benchmark Scientific tech support.

When to Pick the 12 mm Block
Pick the H5000-12 when:
- Workflow uses 12 mm diameter tubes (typical microbiology / general lab tube format)
- Heating-shaker workflow with RPM 200–1200 range
- Sub-ambient + heated workflow (10 °C below ambient through 100 °C span)
- Bacterial culture / sample-prep at 12 mm tube format
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm chassis pairing with Benchmark Scientific tech support — chassis must support both shaking and sub-ambient cooling.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, intended workflow context, RPM and temperature range fit, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.
