The H3020 is the Incu-Shaker 20L — Benchmark Scientific's 20 L production-scale incubator-shaker at $10,095. Larger sister of the 10 L Incu-Shaker (H2010 at $10,095.00) — $2,373 step-up for 20 L chamber. 115 V / 230 V chassis (115 V or 230 V single SKU). Includes non-slip rubber mat.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific Incu-Shaker 20L brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact temperature range, RPM range, shaking orbit, chamber dimensions, and platform compatibility (likely supports H1010-MR / H1010-P-MP / H1010-P-SP / H1010-SH 18 × 18" platform family — same as H2010 10L) with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Pick the H3020 Incu-Shaker 20L when:
- Production-scale workflow at 20 L chamber capacity
- Larger sample-vessel formats that don't fit 10 L chassis
- Multi-investigator shared facility with concentrated shaker demand
- Bridging from 10 L to true production-scale shaking workflow
Stay with H2010 10L ($10,095.00) for mid-throughput 10 L workflows — saves $2,373 when 20 L isn't needed.
Step up to H3022 20LR Refrigerated ($12,418) for temperature-sensitive workflows at 20 L scale (RNA / enzyme / cold-cycle protocols).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chamber size is the H3020? A: 20 L — a production-scale step up from the 10 L H2010 ($10,095.00), a $2,373 increase.
Q: Is the H3020 refrigerated? A: No. For temperature-sensitive workflows at 20 L (RNA/enzyme/cold-cycle protocols), step up to the refrigerated H3022 ($12,418).
Q: What voltage does it use? A: 115V or 230V, 50–60Hz; a 230V configuration is available by special order at the same price.
Q: When should I pick the H3020 over the 10 L? A: For production-scale workflows at 20 L capacity, larger sample-vessel formats that don't fit a 10 L chassis, or concentrated multi-investigator shaker demand.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm temperature range and platform compatibility with Benchmark Scientific tech support — verify 18 × 18" platform family (H1010-MR / H1010-P-MP / -SP / -SH) fits 20 L chassis envelope.
Plan ventilation and bench-space clearance for production-scale chassis footprint.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended throughput, platform compatibility, ventilation clearance, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
Incu-Shaker family — chamber size + refrigeration decision:
- H1001-M / -E Mini ($3,635) — non-refrigerated, mini scale
- H2010 10L ($10,095.00) — non-refrigerated, 10 L
- H2012 10LR ($10,916) — Refrigerated, 10 L
- H3020 20L (this product, $10,095) — non-refrigerated, 20 L
- H3022 20LR ($12,418) — Refrigerated, 20 L
Pick by chamber size and refrigeration need. Cross-decision matrix: refrigeration adds $2,323–$3,194 across volumes; volume step-ups add $2,373–$4,087 between sizes.
