Block, 1 × 96-Well PCR Plate — 2 & 4 Block Models Only

The BSWPCR2 is the 96-well PCR plate-format block sized for multi-position chasses — sold at $357. Opposite chassis-compatibility pattern vs the BSWPCR1 ($370 single-block-only sister) — same 96-well PCR plate workflow, different mechanical envelope sized for the 2-block AND 4-block BSW chassis models (myBlock II BSH5002 dual; possibly BSH1004 four-position).

For full chemistry rationale, see the BSWPCR1 (single-block-only sister) page and the BSW01 (BSW family anchor) page.

Key Specifications

Cross-Restriction 96-Well PCR Plate Block Comparison

The $13 differential likely reflects different mechanical envelope manufacturing for the multi-position chassis slot vs the single-block chassis full envelope.

Pair-Pattern with BSWMT Microplate Block

The BSW catalog has TWO pairs of plate-format blocks with opposite chassis-compatibility patterns:

Note: BSWMT (microplate) and BSWPCR2 (96-well PCR plate) both fit the 2/4-block models — facilities running multi-position chasses can support both microplate and 96-well PCR plate workflows on the same chassis.

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm chassis compatibility — CRITICAL. This block is incompatible with single-block chasses. Confirm 2-block or 4-block chassis model with Benchmark Scientific tech support.

Confirm at quote: chassis compatibility (2-block / 4-block only), 96-well PCR plate workflow context, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.

BSW 96-well PCR plate block — pick by chassis:

- BSWPCR1 — Single-block model ONLY ($370)

- BSWPCR2 (this product) — 2-block AND 4-block models ONLY ($357)

Pick BSWPCR2 for 96-well PCR plate workflows on multi-position BSW chasses; sister BSWPCR1 covers single-block chasses. Both blocks support the same 96-well PCR plate workflow with opposite chassis-compatibility patterns.
