The B3D5000-DIMP is the optional dimpled mat for the BenchWaver B3D5000 chassis, sold at $112. The dimpled mat converts the BenchWaver from a flat-mat (tray / membrane) workflow chassis to a dimpled-mat (tube-mixing) workflow chassis, extending the chassis utility to tube-mixing workflows (cell staining, sample-prep tube mixing, multi-tube content homogenization) at the BenchWaver's largest-platform 13.5"ร—13" scale.

Why a Convertible-Mat Accessory

The BenchWaver chassis ships with a flat mat (membrane / tray workflows). For facilities that also need tube-mixing workflows on the same chassis, the optional dimpled mat converts the chassis between workflow modes via single-mat-swap operation.

Pick the optional dimpled mat (B3D5000-DIMP) when:

  • Facility runs mixed tube-mixing AND membrane / tray workflows on the same BenchWaver chassis
  • Multi-protocol shared facility workflow planning
  • Method-development workflows comparing tube-mixing vs tray-format protocols
  • Adding tube-mixing capability to an existing flat-mat BenchWaver installation

Stay with the flat mat alone when only membrane / tray workflows are the routine. The dimpled mat is excess inventory if not needed.

Pick the dedicated B3D Nutating Shaker chassis (B3D1320 BioMixer or B3D2300 BenchRocker) for dedicated tube-mixing workflows at lower-platform-cost or with variable-speed control.

Mats are NOT cross-fitting across platform sizes. Confirm chassis compatibility at order.

Ordering & Configuration

Pair with B3D5000 chassis. Critical: this mat is sized to the BenchWaver platform specifically, does not fit smaller B3D platforms.

Confirm tube-format compatibility. Confirm specific tube formats fit the dimpled mat dimples, typical formats include 1.5/2.0 mL Eppendorf, 15 mL conical, 50 mL conical.

Plan mat-storage protocol. When not in use, the alternate mat needs storage; confirm storage planning at order.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (specifically BenchWaver), tube-format compatibility, mat-storage plan, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.

BenchWaver mat options:

- Flat mat (included with B3D5000 chassis), membrane / tray workflows

- B3D5000-DIMP (this product): Optional dimpled mat ($112), convert chassis to tube-mixing workflows

Pick the dimpled mat when BenchWaver chassis needs to convert between membrane / tray and tube-mixing workflows. Sister Mini-platform B3D-DIMPLED ($45) covers the smaller B3D1008/-1020 chassis; mats are not cross-fitting.
