The H5100-HL is the heated lid accessory for the MultiTherm Touch chassis (H5100 family), sold. Prevents condensation on tube / plate lids during heated cycles by maintaining the lid at a temperature above the chamber temperature, critical for PCR-prep / hybridization / extended heated-incubation workflows where condensation would otherwise change sample volumes / contaminate caps.

Author confidence note (MEDIUM): class flag: Universe part is a rare class label (vs typical accessory / consumable / capital); flagging as accessory in this page since the heated lid is a durable workflow-enabling component. Confirm exact temperature offset (typical heated-lid setpoint is 5–15 °C above chamber) and chassis-mounting compatibility with Benchmark Scientific.

Why a Heated Lid

Heated cycles in dry-bath / shaker-block workflows generate a temperature gradient: hot chamber + cool ambient lid = condensation on lid surfaces. Condensation effects on workflow:

  • Sample-volume drift as condensate drips back into samples
  • Cap-to-cap cross-contamination if condensate transfers when lids are removed
  • Cooling-effect at sample top as condensate evaporates / re-evaporates
  • Surface tension changes at the air-water interface during PCR / hybridization

Heated lid solution: Maintain lid temperature above chamber temperature so water vapor stays vaporized, no condensation, no sample drift.

Pick the H5100-HL when:

  • Extended heated-incubation workflows (>30 min at >50 °C)
  • PCR-prep workflows sensitive to sample-volume changes
  • Hybridization workflows requiring stable working volume
  • Educational / shared-facility workflows that benefit from condensation-free lid handling

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with MultiTherm Touch chassis. Confirm exact chassis-mounting compatibility (likely fits all H5100-HCT variants).

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

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.
