Electrothermal has updated and improved the IA9000 series digital melting point apparatus, which is available through parent company Bibby Scientific. The membrane keypad has been redesigned and it has a new PCB and 32-bit processor, intuitive menus and a Class A PT100 platinum temperature sensor for much tighter tolerance and more accurate measurement. Temperature resolution is within 0.1ºC. Further enhancements include a new calibration key and a more convenient calibration procedure, improved temperature stability of the oven and daylight-balanced LEDs for better sample illumination.
The extension arm is height-adjustable and the viewing head with 8X magnification may be rotated to ensure comfortable simultaneous viewing of samples in three capillary tubes.
In addition, the IA9200 and IA9300 models offer a choice of ramp rates, date and time facility, PC and printer output, a new USB port and a batch memory capacity of 500 or 1,000 melts.
A bestseller in the US for many years, the Mel-Temp is now available worldwide and includes a new digital microprocessor with temperature resolution of ±1ºC. With fast warm-up and accurate temperature control, the Mel-Temp provides a quick and easy way to measure the melting points of samples at a budget price, the firm says. Benefiting from the same ergonomic design as the IA9000 series, the Mel-Temp is suitable for multiple users and the extension arm folds flat for space-efficient storage.
Each Electrothermal melting point apparatus comes with a complimentary pack of 50 capillary tubes, its own power supply, power cable and a one-year parts and labour warranty.
