BENCHMARK SCIENTIFIC · 20L PERSONAL CO₂ INCUBATOR

Dedicated CO₂ incubation without a full-size chamber

The Benchmark myTemp 20L CO₂ incubator gives small culture workflows a dedicated chamber without committing bench space to a larger unit. Choose H2300-HC2 with a US power cord or H2300-HC2-E with an EU power cord; both use a universal 100–240V, 50–60Hz supply.

A smaller chamber with a clear purpose

Give smaller workflows their own space

A dedicated 20L chamber supports sensitive-culture isolation without reserving a larger incubator for a modest vessel load. Check the interior dimensions against your actual flask and bottle arrangement before ordering.

Plan around a compact footprint

The 13.2 × 14.5-inch footprint suits space-constrained benches and may suit a biological safety cabinet. Confirm cabinet fit, airflow requirements and installation clearances rather than relying on footprint alone.

Choose the cord, not different performance

US-cord H2300-HC2 and EU-cord H2300-HC2-E share the same chamber and controls. Their universal 100–240V, 50–60Hz supply avoids treating the regional cord options as different incubation systems.

Choose 20L for the workload you actually run

For a small number of cultures, a dedicated 20L incubator can be a better fit than leaving a larger chamber underused. Two removable perforated stainless-steel shelves help organize vessels within the 10.3 × 9.3 × 12.8-inch interior. If your workflow needs more vessels, parallel experiments or room to grow, compare 45L and 180L alternatives by usable shelf layout and required controls—not capacity alone.

Prepare the gas connection before installation

The myTemp requires an external CO₂ cylinder or laboratory gas line and a compatible regulator purchased separately; Benchmark's H2300-REG is an optional accessory. Set the supply to 1 bar (14.5 psi) and connect it to the CO₂ inlet, not the sample port. Supplied tubing and an in-line gas filter support setup, while the water reservoir provides passive humidity rather than programmable humidity control. Install on a flat, well-ventilated surface with at least 30cm of wall clearance and suitable ventilation for excess CO₂.

Plan transport around power and gas availability

The included 12V vehicle adapter supports powered transport, but the myTemp has no stated internal battery. Benchmark states that, once power is disconnected, temperature remains within 10% of the set parameter for up to one hour; if disconnected from the CO₂ supply, CO₂ percentage decreases by approximately 1% per 30 minutes. These are qualified retention claims, not continuous control or a guarantee of culture viability. Empty the water reservoir before moving the unit, or secure it at the chamber bottom if humidity is essential, and maintain ventilation and safe external gas handling.

Know the gas connections before setup

The rear CO₂ inlet connects to your regulated gas supply. The separate sample port is for an external CO₂ analyzer—not a supply connection. The manual specifies 1 bar (14.5 psi) supply pressure and includes tubing with an inline filter.

Arrange a compatible CO₂ source and regulator separately. Keep the unit ventilated, use a stable level surface and check the manufacturer’s rear-clearance guidance before placing it inside any cabinet.

Included with this item

  • 20L incubator and two perforated stainless-steel shelves
  • Main power adapter and regional power cord
  • 12V vehicle power adapter
  • Stainless-steel humidity reservoir
  • CO₂ tubing with inline filter and operating manual

Separate purchases / planning

  • External CO₂ supply and suitable regulator
  • Culture vessels and any extra shelves
  • Installation space and safe gas-service arrangements

Choose the cord—not a different culture chamber

H2300-HC2 is supplied with a US power cord; H2300-HC2-E is the EU-cord version. The manufacturer lists a universal 100–240V, 50–60Hz power supply. Both configurations have the same 20L chamber and published CO₂ controls. Select the regional cord required for your installation.

Compare compact and larger culture chambers

Compare exterior width before choosing chamber volume. The bars below share a width scale; they are not a drawing of the instrument or its required clearances.

Check depth, height, access and support capacity too. Manufacturer installation instructions call for ventilation space behind the unit; the cabinet footprint is not the complete installation envelope.

Questions labs ask before ordering

What is the difference between H2300-HC2 and H2300-HC2-E?
H2300-HC2 is supplied with a US power cord; H2300-HC2-E is supplied with an EU power cord. Both use a universal 100–240V, 50–60Hz supply. The cord selection does not change chamber capacity or incubation controls.
What is included, and what do I need to buy separately?
The package includes two perforated stainless-steel shelves, a regional power cord, main power adapter, 12V vehicle adapter, stainless-steel humidity reservoir, CO₂ tubing assembly with an in-line filter and an operating manual. Provide an external CO₂ source and purchase a compatible regulator separately; neither a cylinder nor regulator is included.
What temperature and CO₂ settings does it offer?
Benchmark's brochure lists a temperature range from 10°C below ambient to 55°C, with 0.1°C setting increments, and a CO₂ range of 0–20%. The lower temperature limit is relative to room temperature—it does not mean the chamber reaches an absolute −10°C.
Should I choose 20L, 45L or 180L?
Choose 20L when a small, separate culture workload and bench space are your priorities. Compare 45L or 180L alternatives when vessel count, shelf area or expansion needs exceed a compact chamber. Confirm vessel fit and the controls offered by each alternative rather than assuming larger capacity means identical capabilities.
Can it operate during transport?
A 12V vehicle adapter is included; no internal battery is stated. Benchmark specifies temperature retention within 10% of the set parameter for up to one hour after power disconnection. When disconnected from the CO₂ supply, CO₂ percentage decreases by approximately 1% per 30 minutes. Plan power, gas, reservoir security and ventilation around the journey; these limits do not establish culture viability.
Does it control oxygen or actively regulate humidity?
It provides temperature and CO₂ adjustment, not oxygen or hypoxia control. Humidity is supplied by passive evaporation from the water reservoir; the listed 70–80% humidity is not a programmable humidity setpoint. Choose another system if your protocol requires oxygen control or active humidity regulation.
Can I use a high-heat decontamination cycle?
No high-heat sterilization cycle is provided. The manual instructs users not to use hot-air, hydrogen peroxide or UV decontamination in this plastic-housing incubator. Follow its cleaning procedure for the chamber, shelves and reservoir, using a soft cloth with 70% ethanol and 30% distilled water.
What warranty is listed?
Benchmark lists a two-year manufacturer warranty. Contact Benchmark Scientific or your local Benchmark representative for service support. Warranty coverage is separate from the seller's cancellation, return and refund terms.
