The C2417-R-NR is the MC-24R Refrigerated chassis sold without rotor, sold at $5,767 ($321 cheaper than the C2417-R at $6,088 which includes COMBI-rotor). Allows facility procurement of chassis + specific rotor at order, useful when facility has specific rotor format requirements that don't match the included COMBI-rotor.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): Universe label name field cuts off at "withou", likely "without rotor". Confirm with Benchmark Scientific tech support.

Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.
Key Specifications
| SKU | C2417-R-NR |
| Type | MC-24R Refrigerated microcentrifuge chassis only, no rotor included |
| Refrigeration | Integrated (same as C2417-R sister) |
| Voltage | 115 V or 230 V, 50–60 Hz, 250 W (discrete variants) |
| Sister with COMBI-rotor included | C2417-R ($6,088; chassis + COMBI-rotor bundled) |
| Compatible rotor accessories | C2417-RCMB ($607), C2417-2420H ($904), C2417-3202 ($854), C2417-R5 ($1,197) |
| List price | $5,767 |
When to Pick the No-Rotor Variant
| Procurement option | Components | Total cost |
| C2417-R (chassis + COMBI-rotor) | Chassis + COMBI-rotor | $6,088 |
| C2417-R-NR (this product) + COMBI-rotor | Chassis only + C2417-RCMB rotor | $5,767 + $607 = $6,374 (+$286) |
| C2417-R-NR + hermetically sealed rotor | Chassis only + C2417-2420H | $5,767 + $904 = $6,671 |
| C2417-R-NR + 5 mL rotor | Chassis only + C2417-R5 | $5,767 + $1,197 = $6,964 |
The no-rotor variant + COMBI-rotor procurement costs $286 more than the bundled C2417-R, only beneficial when facility specifically needs a non-COMBI rotor (hermetically sealed for biosafety, 5 mL, PCR strip).
Pick the C2417-R-NR when:
- Facility needs non-COMBI rotor as primary rotor (hermetically sealed for biosafety, 5 mL, PCR strip dedicated)
- Cost-optimized procurement when COMBI-rotor isn't needed
Pick the bundled C2417-R ($6,088) when COMBI-rotor multi-format flexibility matches the workflow.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the C2417-R-NR include? The MC-24R Refrigerated microcentrifuge chassis only, no rotor is included.
Why would I buy the no-rotor variant? When the facility needs a non-COMBI rotor as its primary rotor (hermetically sealed for biosafety, 5 mL, or PCR strip) rather than the COMBI rotor bundled with the standard C2417-R.
Is the C2417-R-NR cheaper than the bundled C2417-R? The chassis alone is $5,767 versus $6,088 for the C2417-R (chassis + COMBI rotor). However, the no-rotor chassis plus a separate COMBI rotor totals $6,374, $286 more, so it only pays off when a non-COMBI rotor is needed.
Which rotors are compatible with the C2417-R-NR? The C2417-RCMB ($607), C2417-2420H hermetically sealed ($904), C2417-3202 ($854), and C2417-R5 5 mL ($1,197).
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm rotor procurement plan at order. Chassis is workflow-incomplete without a rotor.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended rotor pairing, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
MC-24R Refrigerated procurement options:
- C2417-R: Chassis + COMBI-rotor bundle ($6,088)
- C2417-R-NR (this product): Chassis only. $5,767 (pair with separate rotor)
Pick the no-rotor chassis when non-COMBI rotor pairing is the procurement plan; sister bundled C2417-R covers COMBI-rotor inclusion. See C2417-R anchor for full MC-24R refrigerated workflow detail.
