ALab™ RE100-Pro Digital Rotary Evaporator
Product Detail
ALab™ RE100-Pro Digital Rotary Evaporator is a motorized-lift benchtop laboratory rotary evaporator for evaporation, vacuum distillation, separation, sample concentration and solvent recovery. A large LCD shows rotation speed, heating temperature and time at a glance; the brushless DC drive spins 50–3000 mL flasks at 20–280 rpm; and the 5 L water/oil bath heats from room temperature to 180 °C. Supplied as a complete package — main unit, heating bath and a full vertical glassware set with a 1700 cm² condenser.
Why choose the RE100-Pro
Find your working vacuum
A rotary evaporation system lives on the interplay of pressure and temperature: lower the system pressure and the solvent boils at a gentler temperature. Pick your solvent and drag the pressure to see where the boiling point lands:
Model: Antoine vapor-pressure equation lg P = A − B/(C + T) for pure solvents within published coefficient ranges; the bath and condenser guides follow the Δ20 °C (20/40/60) rule of thumb, and the 13 mbar line marks the C410 reference ultimate vacuum. Curves are schematic teaching aids, not performance data for a specific solvent lot or system.

Basic configuration
| Included with every package | Qty |
|---|---|
| Main unit with motorized lift | 1 |
| Heating bath, 5 L, water/oil switchable | 1 |

Options include the vacuum regulator / moisture trap (18900186), secondary condenser component (18900879), protective shield assembly (18900744), PTFE+Viton vacuum seal (18901103), and flask clips for both joint standards including 3 L / 5 L adaptations. Final configuration and accessories are confirmed at quotation.
Matched pump & controller. Routine rotary evaporation of common solvents calls for an oil-free chemistry diaphragm pump around 10–15 mbar and, for reproducible bump-free runs, a programmable vacuum controller — the matched C410 chemistry diaphragm pump (13 mbar · 25 L/min) and VC100 vacuum controller (1–1000 mbar, 5×5 programs) are specified with your quotation.
FAQ
NS 29/32 or NS 24/40 — which glassware standard?
Pick the joint size that matches your existing flasks: NS 24/40 is commonly used in US labs, while NS 29/32 is commonly used internationally. The two packages are otherwise identical.
What vacuum pump does it need?
A chemistry-design diaphragm pump reaching roughly 10–15 mbar covers routine work with common solvents — oil-free diaphragm designs are preferred because solvent vapors pass through the pump head. Use the simulator above to check that your target boiling point is reachable at your pump’s ultimate vacuum.
What happens if power fails mid-run?
The motorized lift automatically raises the evaporating flask out of the heating bath, which helps reduce the risk of prolonged thermal exposure during an unexpected power interruption. Operation should always follow your laboratory’s supervision and safety procedures.
Water or oil bath?
Both — the 5 L bath switches between water and oil modes. Control accuracy is ±1 °C in water and ±3 °C in oil, with boil-dry protection in both modes; water covers most solvents, oil extends the range toward the 180 °C ceiling.
How do I choose bath temperature and vacuum together?
Start from the Δ20 °C rule: set the vacuum so the solvent boils about 20 °C below the bath, and keep the condenser about 20 °C below the vapor temperature. The interactive tool on this page computes it per solvent.
How large a flask can it spin?
Evaporating flasks from 50 mL up to 3000 mL; optional clips secure 3 L flasks, and the ejection mechanism releases ground joints without effort. For pilot-scale batches beyond this range, step up to the RE200-Pro 20 L rotary evaporator.
