The BSH200 is the myBlock Mini Digital Dry Bath — a compact, lower-cost dry bath chassis in a NEW product family distinct from the BSH1001 standard dry bath line. Sold at $363 ($217 less than the BSH1001 single-position at $580), the myBlock Mini delivers basic single-position dry-bath functionality at a smaller bench footprint and lower price point for single-investigator dedicated bench, educational laboratory, and bench-space-constrained facility procurement. Universal-input chassis at 100–240 V (broader voltage tolerance than the BSH1001 family's 120/230 V universal input) + 50 W low-power draw — supports a broader range of installation environments.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): No specific BSH200 brochure in available corpus. Specs sourced from universe label. Confirm block-format compatibility with Benchmark Scientific technical support — the myBlock Mini may use a different block standard than the BSH100-* family (verify whether BSH100-* blocks fit the BSH200 chassis or whether myBlock Mini uses dedicated blocks).
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Why the myBlock Mini — Compact Dry Bath at Lower Price
The myBlock Mini is the entry-level dry bath in the Benchmark Scientific catalog:
| Feature | myBlock Mini (BSH200, this product) | BSH1001 standard dry bath |
| List price | $363 | $580 |
| Cost differential | — | +$217 (BSH1001 is more expensive) |
| Voltage | 100–240 V universal | 120/230 V universal |
| Power | 50 W | (unstated, likely higher) |
| Bench footprint | Compact | Larger |
| Block standard | (confirm with tech support) | BSH100-* family |
| Multi-position chassis available | BSH200-HL (heated-lid), BSH300 (cooling) | BSH1002 (dual), BSH1004 (four) |
Pick the myBlock Mini (BSH200) when:
- Cost-optimized procurement — $217 saving over the BSH1001 standard
- Compact bench footprint — bench-space-constrained labs
- Single-investigator dedicated dry bath at low cost
- Educational laboratory teaching — student-cohort dry bath at affordable price point
- Field-deployment / mobile lab — 50 W low-power draw + 100–240 V broader voltage tolerance support diverse installation environments
Step to BSH1001 standard dry bath ($580) when standard BSH100-* block family compatibility is the procurement requirement (confirm block-standard differences with Benchmark Scientific).
Step to BSH200-HL ($554) when heated-lid functionality is needed for high-temperature workflows.
Step to BSH300 ($893) when cooling capability (sub-ambient temperatures) is the workflow requirement.
myBlock Mini Family — Variants
| SKU | Variant | List price |
| BSH200 / -E (this product) | Standard Mini | $363 |
| BSH200-HL | Mini with heated lid | $554 |
| BSH300 / -E | Mini with cooling | $893 |
Application Profile
Single-investigator dedicated dry bath — investigator-specific bench heating at the lowest practical price.
Educational laboratory teaching — undergraduate / graduate molecular biology coursework.
Bench-space-constrained labs — compact footprint where standard BSH1001 chassis would be excess footprint.
Field-deployment / mobile lab kits — 50 W low-power draw + universal voltage support diverse installation environments.
Method-development workflows at small-volume scale.
Multi-investigator individual-instrument inventory — multiple low-cost dry baths instead of one high-throughput chassis.
Cost-optimized facility procurement — labs procuring multiple dry baths benefit from the lower per-unit cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the myBlock Mini (BSH200)? A compact, lower-cost single-position digital dry bath in the myBlock Mini family, distinct from the standard BSH1001 dry bath line.
What voltage and power does the BSH200 use? 100–240 V universal input (broader than the BSH1001 family's 120/230 V) at 50 W — supporting a wide range of installation environments.
How does the BSH200 compare to the BSH1001? The BSH200 lists at $363 — $217 less than the BSH1001 single-position ($580) — at a smaller footprint and lower power draw.
Do standard BSH100 blocks fit the BSH200? Confirm block-format compatibility with Benchmark Scientific tech support — the myBlock Mini may use a different block standard than the BSH100-series family.
What variants does the myBlock Mini family offer? The standard BSH200 ($363), the heated-lid BSH200-HL ($554), and the cooling BSH300 ($893).
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm block-format compatibility with Benchmark Scientific tech support. The myBlock Mini may use a different block standard than the BSH100-* family — verify before assuming cross-compatibility.
Confirm voltage and plug type. 100–240 V universal; a 230 V EU-plug configuration is available by special order at the same $363.
Confirm bench-clearance for thermal envelope. Even at 50 W, block surface temperature can reach >100 °C — bench-clearance from heat-sensitive items is required.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, block-format compatibility, intended workflow context, bench-clearance, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms — confirm at quote.
myBlock Mini family — pick the right variant:
- BSH200 / -E (this product) — Standard Mini ($363) — entry-level dry bath
- BSH200-HL — Mini with heated lid ($554) — high-temperature workflows
- BSH300 / -E — Mini with cooling ($893) — sub-ambient cooling workflows
Pick the standard Mini for cost-optimized basic dry-bath workflows; sister variants cover heated-lid and cooling capabilities. Step to BSH1001 standard dry bath family for BSH100-* block compatibility and multi-position chasses.
