Automatic Melting Point Range Apparatus

The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature at which the solid to liquid phase transition occurs, referenced at one atmosphere (1 ATM) of pressure. Conforms to BP Appendix 5 - Method 6 and GLP specifications Readily interchanged between automatic and manual detection of melting point ranges Intelligent Lamp Intensity Control with Soft Start Storage capacity for up to 20 sample tests User-interactive software and data entry, including easy alphanumeric entry of sample name, ID number, and date User selectable operating modes: AUTO detection mode: Start/end of melting point range is automatically detected by a photosensing infrared device. The melting process is recorded and viewed on-screen in real-time by a CCD camera MANUAL detection mode: Start/end of melting point range can be selected manually with a key-press by user. Sample melting point can be determined as per BP method by ‘Heat & Cool’ temperature function As above, the melting process is recorded and viewed on-screen in real-time by a CCD camera Conforms to the specifications of: BP Appendix 5-Method 6; GLP Visual Image: 10x magnified displayed on monitor Temperature Range: ambient + 5 to 315°C Heating Rates: 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0°C/min Temperature Readability: 0.1°C Cooling Time: 20 minutes (300°C to ambient) Temperature Accuracy:
