The R2024 is the Roto-Mini Plus Rotator — variable-speed variant of the RotoMini at $541. $91 step-up over the fixed-speed R2020 ($450) for variable-speed control + universal-voltage chassis (100–240 V single SKU). Key differential: R2024 ONLY accepts the R2020-PCR PCR-format holder ($92) and the R2020-RP mini rocking platform ($119) accessories.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Pick the R2024 Plus when:
- Variable-speed workflow required (method-development, kinetics studies)
- PCR plate format workflow — R2020-PCR PCR holder accessory pairing (R2024 only)
- Mini rocking platform workflow — R2020-RP accessory pairing (R2024 only)
- Universal-voltage flexibility — single chassis deploys globally
- $91 step-up justified by accessory compatibility expansion + variable speed
Stay with R2020 fixed-speed ($450) when standard tube-rotation workflows at fixed speed suffice.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the R2024 and the R2020? The R2024 Roto-Mini Plus adds variable-speed control and a universal 100–240 V chassis; the R2020 is fixed-speed. The R2024 is a $91 step-up ($541 vs $450).
Which accessories are R2024-only? The R2020-PCR PCR-format holder ($92) and the R2020-RP mini rocking platform ($119) work only with the R2024.
What voltage does the R2024 use? A single universal-voltage chassis rated 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz — one SKU deploys globally.
Which tube holders fit the R2024? R2020-0507 (5 × 5–7 mL), R2020-150 (5 × 10–15 mL), R2020-1520 (11 × 1.5/2.0 mL), and R2020-500 (6 × 50 mL + 24 × 0.5 mL).
Ordering & Configuration
Plan tube-holder pairing based on intended sample format.
Confirm accessory compatibility — R2020-PCR and R2020-RP are R2024-only.
Confirm at quote: voltage / plug type, intended workflow, tube-holder + accessory pairings, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
Roto-Mini Plus family detail: See R2020 anchor for fixed-speed alternative; see Roto-Therm H2020 family for temperature-controlled rotation.
