ALab™ VC100 Vacuum Controller
Product Detail
ALab™ VC100 Vacuum Controller — a vacuum controller with a 5" TFT touch screen: 1–1000mbar setting and measurement range, single-point or programmed control, up to 5 programs with 5 steps each.
The vacuum controller serves as a device for labs to display, adjust and control the degree of vacuum in vacuum systems. It generally constitutes the vacuum control system of a rotary evaporator along with a vacuum pump, which enables repeatable distillation experiments and the recovery of many kinds of solvents in an efficient and automatic manner. The VC100 offers a vacuum setting range and measurement range of 1–1000mbar, two control modes (single-point control and programmed control) and a program memory of up to 5 programs, each containing 5 steps in which the degree of vacuum and the time can be set. Settings are made on a 5" TFT touch screen; all parts in contact with vapor or liquid are made of PTFE, ceramics or other high-performance materials.

Where it fits
Frequently asked questions
What vacuum range can the VC100 set and measure?
The vacuum setting range and the vacuum measurement range are both 1–1000mbar; the sensor overload pressure is 1,500mbar.
Which control modes and programs are available?
Single-point control mode and programmed control mode. Up to 5 programs can be stored, each containing 5-step control (capable to set the degree of vacuum and time).
How is it operated?
By touch screen setting on a 5" TFT display.
Which materials are in contact with vapor?
PTFE, PP, silicone and ceramics; all parts in contact with vapor or liquid are made of PTFE, ceramics or other high-performance materials that resist corrosion caused by organic solvents, water, acid and alkali.
Can inert gas be fed into the system?
Yes, the built-in vent valve can feed inert gas into system equipment.
Which vacuum pumps can be used?
The brochure lists compatible conditions with a vacuum pump: the power of a 50Hz vacuum pump ≤400W and of a 60Hz vacuum pump ≤500W. It can be connected with pump power control or operated with the pump in the normally open status.
