SMP10 & SMP20
Digital Melting Point Apparatuses

• Digital selection & display of temperature
• High accuracy
• Easy to operate with plateau facility
• Ideal for educational use

TheSMP10 and SMP20 have been designed with both safety and ease of operation in mind,making it ideal for use in education. The temperature is selected, measured anddisplayed digitally making it accurate and negating the need for a thermometer.

The SMP10 displays temperature to 1 degree resolution while the more advancedSMP20 has a 0.1 degree resolution as well as a variable ramp rate and hold keyso that the exact melt temperature can be recorded.

Two samples can be tested simultaneously. They are viewed via a magnifying lenswith clear observation aided by built in illumination. Adjustable back feetallow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle. Full access to theblock aids cleaning. The simple to follow instructions are printed directly onthe instrument in English and most European languages for ease of use (includedwith each instrument).

To operate simply select a plateau temperature via the digital display andpress “start”. The unit quickly heats up and remains at the selectedplateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test. Insert thesample tubes and press “start”. The unit then heats at a fixed rateof 2°C per minute for the SMP10 and at a user selected rate of between 1 and10°C per minute for the SMP20. When the sample is seen to melt, note thetemperature on the display. Press “stop” to end heating and cool theblock.
