ALab™ RE100-CV Controlled Rotary Evaporator
Product Detail
ALab™ RE100-CV Controlled Rotary Evaporator — an intelligent self-cooling rotary evaporator with a touchscreen, a built-in vacuum pump controller and an automatic 150mm motor lift: heating RT to 180°C, condenser RT to −40°C, up to 3000 ml evaporation flasks.
The RE100-CV intelligent self-cooling rotary evaporator offers several breakthrough advantages by directly introducing the refrigerant into the metal condenser: a compact design (no separate chiller needed, saving space), rapid cooling (the metal condenser cools much faster than traditional chillers), lower energy use (refrigeration can be turned off at low temperatures, reducing energy by 50%) and an eco-friendly design (no secondary cooling fluids, cutting costs and supporting sustainability). A touchscreen controls vacuum and cooling temperature; the vacuum pump controller is built in, the flask lifts automatically to a safe position after power loss or when the timer ends, and a 220°C overheat protection is listed. The brochure also prints a comparison with a traditional rotary evaporator and chiller (Table 1, 100 mL cyclohexane); it is shown below for reference only.

Where it fits
Frequently asked questions
What temperatures can the RE100-CV reach?
Heating temperature range RT to 180°C (control accuracy water ±1°C, oil ±3°C, heating power 1300W); condenser temperature range RT to −40°C (control accuracy ±3°C, cooling power 725W). A separate row lists a temperature control accuracy of ±0.1°C.
How is the condenser cooled?
The refrigerant is introduced directly into the metal condenser (intelligent self-cooling condenser with chemically resistant coils and a large condensation area); no separate chiller is needed. It is designed to cool much faster than traditional chillers.
What vacuum and control options are listed?
Vacuum setting range 1–1000mbar with a built-in vacuum pump controller; single-point control mode and programmed control mode; up to 5 programs, each containing 5-step control; time setting range 1–999min.
What speed, direction and lift are listed?
Speed range 20–280rpm, clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation, automatic stroke displacement of 150mm; the evaporating flask automatically moves to a safe position after power loss or when the timer ends.
What does the printed comparison show?
Table 1 compares the RE100-CV (set to −10°C and −34°C) with a traditional rotary evaporator with a chiller when distilling 100 mL of cyclohexane. The brochure states that data may vary with different parameter settings and that the provided data is for reference only.
What flask capacity and safety features are listed?
Evaporation flasks up to 3000 ml; 220°C overheat protection; flask removal structure; dual stainless steel spring seals with PTFE sealing.
What are the power supply, size and weight?
