The Master Science Video Melting Point Apparatus determines the melting point of organic crystalline substances automatically or visually, with a 720p HD camera recording each melt for playback. It is widely used for drugs, flavours, dyes and other fine chemicals where melting range is a key identity and purity test.
Four capillaries are heated together under PID and PWM control, and adjustable illumination and detection sensitivity allow reliable results even with dark-coloured samples.

Key Benefits
- Evidence for every result: the HD camera records each melt, so results can be reviewed and verified later.
- Four samples at once: the Master Science Video Melting Point Apparatus heats four capillaries in one run.
- Works with dark samples: adjustable light intensity and sensitivity improve detection.
- Regulated-lab ready: user management, electronic signatures and optional audit trail.
- Precise ramp control: PID and PWM control give linear heating from 0.1 to 20 °C/min.
Optical testing labs often pair it with the Master Science automatic refractometer.

Common Laboratory Problems and How This Instrument Helps
How the Master Science Video Melting Point Apparatus helps with melting point testing:
- Subjective visual endpoints: automatic detection with video proof removes doubt.
- Low throughput: four capillaries are tested together.
- Dark samples hard to see: adjustable lighting improves contrast.
- Data integrity audits: audit trail and signatures are supported.
- Results stored on paper: digital storage and network output keep records.
