MP-250 Series Digital Melting Point Apparatus

The MP-250 series digital melting point apparatus offers an easy way to measure the melting points of samples without sacrificing accuracy. It is ideal for multiple users, being ergonomically designed to ensure comfortable viewing for everyone, with a height-adjustable extension arm and a viewing head that may be rotated to suit each user. As a visual aid, the viewing head holds a viewing magnifier that offers 8x magnification. As a further convenience, the extension arm is completely collapsible and can be neatly folded away into the unit, so that the unit can be stored flat to save space.

The MP-250D and MP-250D-F models feature two fixed ramp rates: a quick rate to define the approximate melt temperature of your sample and a slower rate to accurately attain the true melt temperature of your chemical sample. The MP-250D-P and MP-250D-PR models offer adjustable ramp rates, internal batch memory capacity, and RS-232 interface and USB ports for easy data transfer to a printer.

Performance

• Membrane keypad with simple menus for intuitive use
• Push button controls are conveniently located to ensure that temperatures can be recorded without looking away from the sample
• Digital microprocessor provides fast warm-up and accurate temperature control
• Samples in three capillary tubes may be viewed simultaneously.

Safety and convenience

• Three audible beeps indicate that the oven temperature is stable and ready for sample
• Adjustable arm with viewing magnifier can be folded away into the unit
• Adjustable object lens for sharp focus
• Rotating viewing head and safety eye piece to protect against glare and hot zone
• Integral light and wide angle 8x viewing magnifier enhance sample observation, so that all three samples can be viewed without eye strain
• For optimal performance, units can be calibrated using a calibration key (order separately) and certified calibration chemicals
