The BSH5001-1B is the myBlock I chassis bundled with 1 × BSWCMB block at first procurement — sold at $763 ($183 step over the chassis-only BSH5001 at $763.00). Bundled procurement provides workflow-complete dry-bath setup at first order without separately specifying chassis + block SKUs. The BSWCMB block appears to be a multi-tube-format combo block (suffix likely indicates "with combo" / multi-format wells) — confirm exact block specifications with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific BSH5001-1B brochure in available corpus. The BSWCMB block specification is not enumerated in available universe data — confirm exact tube-format wells, block dimensions, and tube compatibility with Benchmark Scientific technical support before procurement.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Why a Chassis + Block Bundle
Most BSH chassis SKUs ship without blocks (separate procurement) — operational simplicity for facilities specifying exact block formats. The bundle SKU (BSH5001-1B) is the first-procurement convenience option: workflow-complete setup at one SKU procurement.
Pick the BSH5001-1B (bundle) when:
- First-time myBlock I procurement where the BSWCMB combo-block format meets workflow needs
- Single-procurement convenience is operationally valuable (vs separately specifying chassis + block SKU)
- BSWCMB block specifically matches workflow tube-format requirements
- Facility procurement standardization on bundle SKUs
Pick the chassis-only BSH5001 ($763.00) when specific block format other than BSWCMB is the workflow requirement — separately procure the appropriate BSH100-* block.
Bundle vs Chassis-Only Economics
| Procurement option | Components | Total cost |
| Chassis only (BSH5001) + standard $124 block (e.g., BSH100-15) | 1 chassis + 1 standard block | $763.00 + $124 = $704 |
| BSH5001-1B bundle (this product) | 1 chassis + 1 BSWCMB block | $763 |
| Chassis only (BSH5001) + premium $157 conical block | 1 chassis + 1 premium block | $763.00 + $157 = $737 |
| Chassis only (BSH5001) + custom-machining $312 BSH100-CU | 1 chassis + 1 custom blank | $763.00 + $312 = $892 |
The bundle's $183 block-equivalent value places BSWCMB pricing between standard ($124) and conical-block ($157) tiers — consistent with a multi-format combo block (more complex than single-format but less complex than custom-machining blank).
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the BSH5001-1B bundle include? The myBlock I single-chamber chassis (BSH5001 equivalent) plus one BSWCMB block, supplied together at first procurement for a workflow-complete dry-bath setup at a single SKU.
How does the bundle price compare to the chassis-only BSH5001? The bundle lists at $763 versus $763.00 for the chassis-only BSH5001 — a $183 step that reflects the value of the included BSWCMB block, which places it between the standard ($124) and conical ($157) block tiers.
What is the BSWCMB block? It appears to be a multi-tube-format combo block, but its exact well formats and tube compatibility are not enumerated in available data — confirm specifications with Benchmark Scientific technical support before procuring the bundle.
What voltage options are available? 120 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz, supplied as discrete variants; the 230 V variant is by special order.
When should I choose the chassis-only BSH5001 instead? When a specific block format other than the BSWCMB is the workflow requirement — buy the BSH5001 chassis and separately procure the appropriate BSH100-* block.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm BSWCMB block specifications. Critical: clarify with Benchmark Scientific tech support what tube formats the BSWCMB block supports before bundle procurement — the bundle commits the buyer to this specific block format.
Confirm bundle vs separate-procurement economics. If BSWCMB block format doesn't match workflow, the chassis-only BSH5001 + separately-procured standard BSH100-* block may be more cost-efficient.
Confirm voltage and plug type. 115 V / 230 V chassis.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, BSWCMB block specifications, intended workflow tube-format fit, bundle-vs-separate procurement decision, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
myBlock I procurement options:
- BSH5001 / -E — Chassis only ($763.00) — separate block procurement
- BSH5001-1B (this product) — Chassis + 1 BSWCMB block bundle ($763)
Pick the bundle for first-procurement convenience when BSWCMB block format meets workflow; sister chassis-only enables separate block-format procurement for non-BSWCMB workflows. See BSH5001 anchor for myBlock I product-line context and BSH1001 anchor for full BSH dry bath chemistry.
