Block, 6 × 5 mL Conical Tubes (17mm Diameter)

The BSH100-5MT is the 5 mL conical-tube block for the BSH digital dry bath family — 6 wells for 5 mL conical tubes at 17 mm diameter —. The 17 mm OD specification is distinct from standard 15 mL conical tube outer diameter — likely sized for Eppendorf-brand 5 mL tubes (which use a distinctive 17 mm OD geometry).

For full chemistry rationale, see the BSH1001 (chassis) anchor page.

Key Specifications

Why the 17 mm OD Specification

Standard 5 mL tubes vary in outer diameter across brands. The Eppendorf 5 mL tube uses a 17 mm OD geometry that's wider than typical 5 mL tube formats — designed for compatibility with Eppendorf's centrifuge / vacuum-concentrator product lines. The BSH100-5MT block is specifically sized for the 17 mm OD 5 mL tube format — confirm tube-brand / OD compatibility at order if 5 mL workflows use non-standard tube formats.

When to Pick the 5 mL 17 mm Block

Pick the BSH100-5MT when:

• Workflow uses 17 mm OD 5 mL conical tubes (Eppendorf 5 mL or compatible)
• Mid-volume sample-prep workflows in the 5 mL format
• Sample-prep workflow standardization on the Eppendorf 5 mL ecosystem

Ordering & Configuration

Confirm tube-OD compatibility. 17 mm OD; confirm at order if non-standard 5 mL tube formats are used.

Pair with BSH dry bath chassis.

Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, tube-OD compatibility, and lead time.

Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory terms.

BSH conical-tube block family:

- BSH100-150 — 4 × 15 mL conical

- BSH100-500 — 2 × 50 mL conical

- BSH100-5MT (this product) — 6 × 5 mL conical 17mm OD — Eppendorf 5 mL format
