The Master Science Digital Melting Point Apparatus measures the melting point and melting range of organic crystalline materials automatically. It is used in the production and quality control of medicines, dyes, perfumes and other fine chemicals.
PID and PWM control produce a linear heating ramp, the melting curve is recorded automatically, and the instrument calculates the average initial and final melting points for each test.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Instrument Helps
How the Master Science Digital Melting Point Apparatus supports melting point testing:
- Operator-dependent endpoints: automatic detection gives consistent values.
- Non-linear heating: PID control keeps the ramp steady.
- Manual averaging: results are calculated automatically.
- Lost data: 1000 results stay in memory.
- Slow single tests: the 3-capillary model triples throughput.
