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.
