The BR1000-STACK-D is the dimpled-mat sister of the BR1000-STACK stacking platform — sold at $160 ($6 premium over the flat-mat sister at $154). Same 3.0" tier-clearance stacking design, different mat — the dimpled mat holds tubes in place during dual-tier 2D rocking motion, supporting tube-format throughput doubling on BR1000 chassis.
For full chemistry rationale (stacking platform throughput economics, cross-platform stacking comparison), see the BR1000-STACK (flat-mat sister) parent page.
Key Specifications
| SKU | BR1000-STACK-D |
| Type | Stacking platform with dimpled mat for BR1000 chassis |
| Tier clearance | 3.0" between primary platform and stacking platform |
| Stacking-platform mat | Dimpled mat (holds tubes during 2D rocking motion) |
| Compatible chassis | BR1000 (BenchBlotter) |
| Sister stacking platform SKU | BR1000-STACK (flat-mat version, $154) |
| Sister small-platform stacking | B3D-STACK-D (small 10.5"×7.5" dimpled, $160) |
| List price | $160 |
When to Pick the Dimpled-Mat Stacking Platform
Pick the BR1000-STACK-D when:
- Workflow involves tube-format mixing on the 12" × 12" platform AND needs per-cycle throughput doubling
- Cell-staining / sample-prep tube workflows at facility scale on BR1000 chassis
- Multi-investigator shared BR1000 chassis — dual-tier supports multiple investigators' tube workflows
Pick the flat-mat sister (BR1000-STACK, $154) for tray / membrane workflows.
Note on 2D vs 3D motion for tube mixing: 2D rocking is gentler than 3D nutating motion. For more vigorous tube content mixing, consider the B3D1320 BioMixer 3D Nutating Shaker chassis instead.
Stacking Platform Pricing Pattern
| SKU | Mat | Size | List price |
| B3D-STACK | Flat | Small | $154 |
| B3D-STACK-D | Dimpled | Small | $160 |
| BR1000-STACK | Flat | Large | $154 |
| BR1000-STACK-D (this product) | Dimpled | Large | $160 |
Same pricing across small and large 12"×12" platforms — universe pricing pattern.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with BR1000 chassis.
Confirm tube formats fit the 3.0" clearance. Confirm specific tube formats fit the dimpled mat dimples and tube heights fit the stacking clearance.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, tube-format / height fit, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.
