ALab™ RE100-S LED Digital Rotary Evaporator
Product Detail
ALab™ RE100-S LED Digital Rotary Evaporator is a benchtop laboratory rotary evaporator for evaporation, vacuum distillation, separation, sample concentration and solvent recovery. Digital LED controls display rotation speed, bath temperature and operating time; the brushless DC drive turns 50–3000 mL flasks at 20–200 rpm; and the 5 L water/oil bath reaches 180 °C under PID control — with independent temperature control, so the bath doubles as a standalone heating bath.
Why choose the RE100-S
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.

Main unit, heating bath and glassware set are packaged separately. Options include a 1700 cm² condenser, glassware with explosion-proof film, the vacuum regulator / moisture trap (18900186), secondary condenser component (18900879), protective shield (18900789), PTFE+Viton vacuum seal (18901103) and flask clips for both joint standards. 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
RE100-S or RE100-Pro — which one?
Both support 50–3000 mL evaporating flasks, use a 5 L water/oil heating bath, deliver up to 1.56 L/h water evaporation, and share the same glassware family. The RE100-S uses an LED display, a manual lift with auxiliary lift and a 1200 cm² condenser; the RE100-Pro adds an LCD, a 150 mm motorized lift with automatic lift-out on power failure, 20–280 rpm and a 1700 cm² condenser. Choose the RE100-S when manual positioning is preferred; choose the RE100-Pro when a motorized lift and a higher maximum rotation speed are priorities.
Can the heating bath really be used on its own?
Yes — the 5 L bath has independent temperature control, so it works as a standalone water or oil bath when it is not carrying the evaporator, with the same PID accuracy and boil-dry protection.
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, and both accept the entire RE100-Pro glassware range.
1200 or 1700 cm² condenser?
The standard package ships with the 1200 cm² vertical condenser, which suits routine solvent removal. The optional 1700 cm² condenser is available for applications that benefit from additional condensing surface or greater vapor-load capacity — ask for it at quotation.
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.
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.
