The H6004 is the Incu-mixer MP 4-position, larger sister of the H6002 2-position chassis at $2,962. $806 step-up for double the parallel microplate throughput. Same vortex + heating mechanism, same universal-voltage chassis.
For full Incu-mixer MP family rationale and microplate-vortex-vs-orbital decision, see the H6002 (anchor) page.
SAFETY FLAG (caution): Heated chassis + vortex motion hazards.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.
Key Specifications
| SKU | H6004 |
| Type | Heated microplate vortexer (4-position) |

When to Pick the 4-Position
Pick the H6004 4-position when:
- Double parallel throughput vs H6002: 4 microplates per cycle
- Production-scale microplate-prep workflow. Drug screening, parallel cell-based assays
- Multi-investigator shared facility with concentrated microplate-vortex demand
- $806 step-up justified by 2× throughput + bench-space efficiency vs running two H6002 chasses
Stay with H6002 ($2,962.00) for 2-microplate throughput workflows. It saves $806.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many microplates can the H6004 run at once? Four microplates simultaneously, double the throughput of the 2-position H6002.
How does the H6004 compare to the H6002? The H6004 lists at $2,962 versus $2,962.00 for the H6002, an $806 step-up for two additional microplate positions, using the same vortex and heating mechanism and the same universal-voltage chassis.
What are the voltage and power specifications? 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz universal-voltage chassis rated at 500 W.
Is the H6004 heated? Yes. It is a heated microplate vortexer. The heated chassis plus vortex motion present a caution-level hazard.
Ordering & Configuration
Plan microplate-format compatibility. Verify intended plates fit the 4-position mounting.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended workflow, microplate format, throughput planning, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
