The B2000-8-T500 is the 50 mL conical-tube rack sized for the myBath 8 L water bath — accommodates 30 × 50 mL conical tubes simultaneously at $248 (same price as the sister B2000-8-T150 15 mL rack). Designed for the B2000-8 (8 L) myBath chassis specifically — the 8 L bath's larger chamber accepts 2× the 50 mL tube count of the 4 L bath's 15-tube sister (B2000-4-T500).
Key Specifications

| List price | $248 |
Why the 30-Tube Higher-Throughput Format
The 8 L bath's larger chamber accommodates 2× the 50 mL tube count of the 4 L bath in the same tube format — 30 tubes vs 15 tubes. For workflows where simultaneous incubation of 50 mL conical tubes at scale is the procurement driver, the 8 L bath + 30-tube rack combination is meaningfully higher-throughput than the 4 L combination.
Pick this rack (B2000-8-T500) when:
- Workflow involves 30+ tube simultaneous incubation in 50 mL format
- Cell-culture facility procurement at scale — large-batch media bulk prep, cell-pellet resuspension at production scale
- Multi-investigator shared 50 mL workflows — multiple investigators' large-volume tubes simultaneously
- Production-scale buffer / reagent prep at the 50 mL tube format
- Large-batch enzyme reactions in 50 mL format
- Pair with the 8 L chassis (B2000-8 / -8-E) — 4 L racks don't fit the 8 L chamber
myBath 8 L Rack Family — Tube Format Selection
| SKU | Tube format | Tube count | List price |
| B2000-8-T150 | 15 mL conical | 76 tubes | $248 |
| B2000-8-T500 (this product) | 50 mL conical | 30 tubes | $248 |
Same-price pair within the 8 L rack family — both are sized to the 8 L chamber's substantially-larger working area.
Cross-Capacity 50 mL Rack Comparison
| Bath chassis | Rack SKU | Tube count | List price |
| 4 L (B2000-4) | B2000-4-T500 | 15 tubes | $130 |
| 8 L (B2000-8) | B2000-8-T500 (this product) | 30 tubes | $248 |
At $8.27/tube on the 8 L vs $8.67/tube on the 4 L, the per-tube cost is comparable but the higher absolute capacity of the 8 L combination is the procurement driver for high-throughput 50 mL workflows.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with B2000-8 chassis. Critical: this rack is sized to the 8 L chamber specifically — confirm chassis match at order.
Cell-culture facility procurement note. The 30-tube 50 mL rack is the workhorse for cell-culture-room production-scale media bulk prep workflows — pair with the bath at first procurement if facility includes scaled cell-culture work.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing (specifically 8 L), intended high-throughput 50 mL workflow context, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms — confirm at quote.
myBath 8 L tube rack family:
- B2000-8-T150 — 15 mL × 76 tubes ($248)
- B2000-8-T500 (this product) — 50 mL × 30 tubes ($248) — high-throughput 50 mL workflows
Pick the 30-tube 50 mL rack for high-throughput 50 mL conical-tube workflows on the 8 L chassis; the 4 L bath's smaller 15-tube rack (B2000-4-T500) does not fit the 8 L chamber.
