The SMP10 and SMP20 have been designed with safety and ease of operation in
mind making it ideal for use in education. The temperature is selected,
measured and displayed digitally making it accurate and negating the need for a
thermometer. The SMP10 displays temperature to 1 degree resolution while the
more advanced SMP20 has a 0.1 degree resolution as well as a variable ramp rate
and hold key so that the exact melt temperature can be recorded.
Two samples can be tested simultaneously. They are viewed via a magnifying lens
with clear observation aided by built in illumination. Extendible back feet
allow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle. Full access to the
block aids cleaning. The simple to follow instructions are printed directly on
the instrument in most European languages for ease of use.
To operate simply select a plateau temperature via the digital display and
press "start". The unit quickly heats up and remains at the selected
plateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test. Insert the
sample tubes and press "start". The unit then heats at a fixed rate
of 2°C per minute for the SMP10 and at a user selected rate of between 1 and
10°C per minute for the SMP20. When the sample is seen to melt, note the
temperature on the display. Press "stop" to end heating and cool the
block.
Supplied complete with calibration certificate showing individual serial number
for traceability.

MELTING POINT TUBES
(CAPILLARY TUBES)
Made of borosilicate glass.A partial immersion thermometer, calibrated for 75 mm, is specified in
most methods for determination of melting points.Tubes are 100 mm long when supplied with both
ends open, so that 90 mm will remain after sealing.Tube length insures open end will extend well
above bath's surface to prevent bath liquid from entering tube.121670 meets requirements of USP XXI.Packed 100 tubes per vial.
