Key Specifications

When to Pick the Custom-Drilled Block

Pick the H5000-CU when:

• Workflow uses non-standard tube / vial format not covered by standard H5000 blocks
• ≤40 mm tall sample vessel that needs custom hole drilling
• Method-development workflow requiring bespoke sample-format heat block
• Specialty assays with custom reaction vessels

Stay with standard H5000 blocks when stock formats cover the workflow — saves $539+ vs custom block at the lowest stock-block price ($383).
