|
| SMP40, Automatic Melting Point Apparatus |
| The SMP40 accurately identifies the melting
point of up to three samples simultaneously
using a digital camera to identify the smallest of changes within the sample,
allowing accurate and reliable automatic
identification of the melting point of your material. |
 |
| |
Storage and connectivity
The SMP40 can retain approximately 200 results with videos, for reviewing at a later date. Alternatively the unit has USB ports for connection to a flash drive or PC via Microsoft® ActivSync, so the video files can be more permanently stored as a long term record. |
| |
Block cleaning
It is inevitable that at some point in the life of a melting point apparatus, the block will need cleaning. The SMP40 has been cleverly designed to allow easy access to the block, to make this necessary job as easy as possible. |
| |
5.7” color VGA, touch-screen display
All control of the SMP40 is via the color touch-screen display. The user interface has been custom designed for melting point applications and is quick and easy to navigate. On the screen, a full color display of the samples is shown in real-time, just in case you want to check on the automatic result. Once samples have been run, the video files are retained as standard .avi files and can be viewed on the unit after the event, or transferred to PC to retain traceability long term. |
| |
Protective safety hood
The design on the SMP40 utilizes a protective safety hood, which when loaded, protects your samples from accidental sideswipes. The hood also acts as a light shield ensuring that adjustments in the ambient lighting conditions don’t affect
the automatic melting point determination. |
| |
Pre-prepared sample storage
The SMP40 features a handy storage area where preprepared samples can be safely stored. |
| |
Onboard capillary storage with in built glass cutter
The SMP40 features a useful onboard storage drawer to house all standard capillary tubes. The drawer also contains
a small glass cutter that can be used to accurately cut sample tubes in half, for those users who perefer not to use whole tubes. Not only will the glass cutter always get the cut in the center of the tube, but it will also reliably give a clean cut making sample loading cleaner and safer. |
| |
Calibration
All units are factory supplied with a calibration certificate showing individual serial number for traceability. The SMP40 also conforms to Pharmacopeia and GLP. |
| |
 |
Split Design Concept
The SMP40 automatic melting point is the first melting point to utilize a split concept. The control side can be separated from the sample side, allowing maximum footprint flexibility. The sample side can be located at the back of the bench or in a fume cupboard (if required) to give more space. The control side can also be used in two orientations: landscape or portrait. This allows for a more comfortable viewing angle, whether you are standing or sitting at the bench. The control side automatically detects which orientation it is in and flips the screen to always be the right way up. |
 |
| SMP30, Melting Point Apparatus |
| The SMP30 replaces the SMP3 with many improvements and novel features, many of which are patented, like the unique head up display that allows the user to see a display of the block temperature through the sample viewfinder. |
 |
| |
Head up display
While performing a manual melting point, it is natural to glance at the temperature of the block to see when the melt should occur. Unfortunately this means taking your eye off the sample, and you risk missing the start of the melt. But with the SMP30’s unique patented ‘head up display’, a temperature display is housed within the eyepiece, so you can see the sample tubes and temperature simultaneously,
eliminating the need to refocus your eye. The position of the display in your eyeline can be adjusted or even switched off if you would prefer not to use this feature. |
| |
Head adjustment
The SMP30 offers a two way head adjustment for comfortable
use. The head can be pivoted from the unit towards the user, after which the angle of the head can be adjusted to ensure that the most comfortable viewing angle can be obtained. The head will firmly hold in place in the desired position until moved again. |
| |
Block cleaning
Like the SMP40 the SMP30 has been designed
to allow easy access to the block for cleaning. |
| |
Accessory printer
To keep a more permanent record of results,
an accessory printer is available, providing printouts of each result individually,
including date and time. |
| |
Maximum temperature and cooling
The SMP40 has a maximum temperature of 400°C, allowing a greater array of materials to be measured. Cooling from 350°C to 50°C is also possible in approximately
12 minutes, allowing for fast sample throughput. |
| |
Illumination
To allow for the clearest view of the samples,
bright white LEDs have been used to give clean and clear lighting. LEDs also have the advantage of longevity over conventional bulbs. |
| |
Control
To assist with the melting point process, the SMP30 has the largest display yet on a manual unit. The custom user interface runs on an impressive 40 x 4 character display, guiding users through the entire process and always informing
them of important information, such as time and block temperature. |
|
| SMP10 & SMP20, Digital Melting Point Apparatus |
SMP10 |
The SMP10 and SMP20 have been designed with safety and ease of operation in mind making it ideal for use in education. The temperature is selected, measured and displayed digitally making it accurate and negating the need for a thermometer. The SMP10 displays temperature to 1 degree resolution while the more advanced SMP20 has a 0.1 degree resolution as well as a variable ramp rate and hold key so that the exact melt temperature can be recorded. |
| |
Clear observation and use
Two samples can be tested simultaneously. They are viewed via a magnifying lens with clear observation aided by built in illumination. Extendible back feet allow the unit to be operated at the optimum viewing angle. Full access to the block aids cleaning. The simple to follow instrructions are printed directly on the instrument in most European languages for ease of use. |
| |
SMP20 |
Storage and connectivity
To operate simply select a plateau temperature via the digital display and press “start”. The unit quickly heats up and remains at the selected plateau temperature until the user is ready to start the test. Insert the sample tubes and press “start”.
The unit then heats at a fixed rate of 2°C per minute for the SMP10 and at a user selected rate of between 1 and 10°C per minute for the SMP20. When the sample is seen to melt, note the temperature on the display. Press “stop” to end heating and cool the block. |
| SMP11, Analog Melting Point Apparatus |
| Up to three samples can be viewed and tested at any one time. Samples are illuminated by a bright white LED and viewed via a magnifying lens. The magnifying lens can be detached for cleaning, using the simple-to-follow instructions printed on the instrument. |
 |
| |
Safety features
Supplied with a safe, spirit filled mercury free thermometer,
the low toxic blue spirit will not pose a health hazard in the event of a breakage.
With these safety and user-friendly features, the SMP11 is ideal for use in education. |
| |
Variable heating rate
With a manually adjustable heating rate, the SMP11 will rapidly heat samples up to 20°C per minute to the melt temperature of 250°C.
Accurate readings to within 1°C of the melt temperature can be achieved by using a slower heating rate of between
1 and 10°C per minute. |
| |
Easy to operate
Easy to follow instructions are printed directly on the apparatus. |
| |
Melting point tubes
Made from soda glass, these tubes are easy to seal in a Bunsen flame and break into two. Supplied in packs of 100 in robust tube holders |
 |
Tube overall length = 100mm
Tube diameter = 1.9mm |
Inner diameter = 1.3mm
