The BSH5002-2B is the myBlock II dual chamber chassis bundled with 2 × BSWCMB blocks at first procurement — sold at $1,072 ($350 step over the chassis-only BSH5002 at $1,072.00). Workflow-complete dual-chamber dry-bath setup at one SKU procurement — supports immediate dual-temperature workflow operation with the included BSWCMB combo blocks.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific BSH5002-2B brochure in available corpus. BSWCMB block specifications are not enumerated in available universe data — confirm with Benchmark Scientific technical support.

Key Specifications
| SKU | BSH5002-2B |
| Type | myBlock II dual chamber chassis + 2 BSWCMB blocks bundle |
| Bundle composition | Chassis (BSH5002 equivalent) + 2 × BSWCMB blocks |
| Voltage | 120 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz (discrete variants) |
| Sister chassis-only SKU | BSH5002 (myBlock II chassis only, no blocks, $1,072.00) |
| Sister myBlock I bundle | BSH5001-1B (single chamber + 1 block, $1,072.00) |
| List price | $1,072 |
| Safety flag | Thermal hazard — heated block surface |
Bundle Economics — myBlock I vs myBlock II Bundles
| Bundle | Chassis | Blocks | List price | Per-block cost (implied) |
| BSH5001-1B (myBlock I + 1 block) | $580 | 1 | $1,072.00 | $183/block |
| BSH5002-2B (this product, myBlock II + 2 blocks) | $1,072.00 | 2 | $1,072 | $175/block |
The dual-chamber bundle's per-block cost is slightly cheaper at $175 vs $183 for the single-chamber bundle — small but consistent volume discount on the 2-block bundle.
Workflow-Complete Dual-Chamber Procurement
Pick the BSH5002-2B (bundle) when:
- First-time myBlock II procurement with BSWCMB block format meeting workflow needs
- Single-procurement convenience for workflow-complete dual-chamber setup
- Dual-temperature workflow requirements where both blocks are immediately needed
- Cost-efficient dual-block bundle — $175/block vs separate procurement
Pick the chassis-only BSH5002 ($1,072.00) + separately-procured blocks when specific block formats other than BSWCMB match workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is included with the BSH5002-2B? A: The myBlock II dual-chamber chassis bundled with 2 × BSWCMB blocks, ready for immediate dual-temperature operation.
Q: Why choose the bundle over the chassis-only BSH5002? A: The bundle at $1,072 includes 2 blocks at an implied $175 per block; the chassis-only BSH5002 ($1,072.00) is the pick when you need specific block formats other than BSWCMB.
Q: Can the two chambers run different temperatures? A: The dual-chamber chassis is designed for two simultaneous temperatures — confirm independent per-block temperature control at quote.
Q: What voltage does it use? A: 120 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz (discrete variants). The 230 V variant is available by special order.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm BSWCMB block specifications. Critical: clarify with Benchmark Scientific tech support before bundle procurement.
Confirm dual-temperature workflow fit. The dual-chamber chassis is most valuable when workflow uses two simultaneous temperatures — confirm independent-per-block temperature control.
Confirm voltage and plug type. 115 V / 230 V chassis.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, BSWCMB block specifications, intended dual-temperature workflow, bundle-vs-separate procurement decision, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
myBlock II procurement options:
- BSH5002 / -E — Chassis only ($1,072.00) — separate block procurement
- BSH5002-2B (this product) — Chassis + 2 BSWCMB blocks bundle ($1,072)
Pick the bundle for first-procurement convenience when BSWCMB block format meets workflow; sister chassis-only enables specific block-format procurement. See BSH5002 parent for myBlock II product-line context and BSH1002 parent for full dual-chamber multi-temperature workflow detail.
