Bibby Scientific is offering Stuart's SMP40 automatic melting-point apparatus, which incorporates digital video imaging technology to detect and capture the melting point of up to three samples.
Walk-away operation speeds up high-throughput purity testing.
The SMP40's USB connectivity increases traceability of results to meet the QC requirements of manufacturing companies.
The SMP40's colour VGA screen lets the user view the melt process in real time or retrospectively; a split-screen design allows maximum footprint flexibility.
For example, the sample side of the apparatus can be located at the back of the bench or in a fume cupboard, while the control side detects which way up the unit is being used and adjusts the screen orientation accordingly.
The 5.7in (144.8mm) VGA display shows the samples in real time.
A touch-screen allows easy apparatus control.
The SMP40 can store about 200 .avi video files for viewing on the unit's screen; USB ports enable transfer to a flash drive or PC via Microsoft Activsync.
The SMP40 includes: a safety hood that protects samples and acts as a light shield, a capillary storage drawer with integral glass cutter and a storage area for pre-prepared samples.
Easy access to the block helps cleaning.
