The BT3000-MR is the MAGic Clamp Universal Platform — a 14×12" platform with magnetic-clamp accessory compatibility for flexible vessel format support on BT family Orbi-Shakers — sold. The MAGic Clamp technology supports rapid vessel-format switching by magnetically clamping vessels (flasks, tubes, custom holders) to the platform — eliminating the need to swap platform-specific accessories between workflows.

Why a MAGic Clamp Universal Platform
Standard orbital shaker platforms come vessel-format-specific (flask clamps for flasks; rubber mats for tubes; microplate platforms for plates). Each format swap requires physical platform exchange — slow operationally and inventory-heavy.
The MAGic Clamp Universal Platform uses magnetic clamping to support multiple vessel formats on the same platform:
- Flasks — magnetic flask clamps secure flasks to the platform during orbital motion
- Tubes — magnetic tube racks secure tubes for orbital agitation
- Custom holders — magnetic holders for non-standard vessels
- Rapid format-switch — swap magnetic accessories rather than platforms
Pick the BT3000-MR when:
- Workflow involves multiple vessel formats in routine use (flasks + tubes)
- Rapid protocol-switch workflows where format changes happen between cycles
- Multi-investigator shared chassis with diverse vessel-format protocols
- Method-development workflows comparing vessel-format effects
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm chassis compatibility. Confirm with Benchmark Scientific tech support which BT chasses accept the MAGic Clamp Universal Platform.
Pair with magnetic-clamp accessories. The platform itself supports magnetic clamping — workflow-complete setup requires the appropriate magnetic clamp accessories per vessel format.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, intended multi-vessel workflow context, magnetic-clamp accessory inventory plan, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.
