K90100 Automatic Melting Point Range Apparatus

K90100 Automatic Melting Point Range Apparatus

MARCA: KOEHLER

The melting point of a crystalline solid is the temperature at which the solid to liquid phase transition occurs, referenced at one atmosphere (1 ATM) of pressure.

K90100 Automatic Melting Point Range Apparatus
The Koehler Automatic Melting Point Range Apparatus is the latest technology for microprocessor-based determinations of melting point ranges of crystalline, powdered and polymeric materials, and is used to assess sample purity. Requires approximately 5mg of sample spread uniformly on a glass slide, covered with a glass coverslip. The slide is placed on a uniformly heated, round furnace and subjected to a heating profile as required by the user. Two user operating modes are available: automatic and manual. In the automatic mode, the start and end of melting point range is automatically detected by a photosensing device. In the manual mode, the start and end of melting point range can be selected manually with a key-press by the user. Sample melting point can be determined as per the BP method by the ‘Heat & Cool’ temperature function. The melting process is recorded and viewed on-screen in real-time by a CCD camera. Precise temperature control gives reproducible results to within 1%. The unit contains an automatic temperature safety cut-off feature if no melting points are detected 15°C above the expected melting point or if the oven reaches 315°C. The melting process is magnified, recorded, and viewed on-screen in real-time by a CCD camera. The change in physical appearance of the sample with respect to temperature is recorded, and the start/end of melting is observed automatically. A representation of the entire process can be printed out in graphical form for validation.
