SMP10
Melting point apparatus, digital
SMP20 and SMP10
• Digital selection & display of temperature
• Choice of accuracy, 1 or 0.1 degree
resolution
• Easy to operate with plateau facility
• Ideal for educational use
• Supplied with calibration certificate
Key Features
The SMP10 and SMP20 have been designed with safety and ease of
operation in mind making it ideal for use in education. 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.
In both units 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.
