The MP-100 measures the melting point of chemicals from ambient to 250C. Samples need to be placed in a sealed end capillary tube and located in the heating block. Up to three tubes can be tested at one time. The heating rate can be adjusted manually between 1 to 20C/min, and for rapid heating 10C/min, to obtain an accurate melting point range. The sample and melt process can be viewed via the magnifying lens, which is illuminated by bright LEDs. Record the melt temperatures from the thermometer, positioned horizontal to the samples to allow simultaneous viewing. The lens can be detached for cleaning and simple to follow instructions are printed directly on to the unit, making it easy for students to use. For 220/240V. Dimensions (L x W x H): 370 x 140 x 110 mm.
