Ideal for both educational and research applications! The Economy Digital Melting Point Appartus uses digital temperature sensing and display rather than a traditional mercury thermometer,making it more accurate,safer and easier to use.Maker melting point determination simple and fast,and at a price that makes it the ideal tool for both educational and research applications. Instructions are printed directly on the face of the unit.This means you save time by learing to opearate the apparatus quickly.Simple,intuitive push button controls assure minimum set-up steps.A larger LED display makes reading the temperature easy.LED indicator lights tell you what the unit is doing at anytime. An illuminated viewing cover and magnifying eyepiece allow you to easily determine when the melting point has occurs.A protective screen prevents samples from directly contacting the heating block. Block is open at both ends to quickly and thoroughly clear out any broken capillary tubes.Folding feet allow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle.
