Melt Station

$629.00

The Melt Station makes it possible to accurately determine the melting temperature of solid substances.

ORDER CODE: MLT-BTA Categories ,

Connect the Melt Station to a Vernier interface to measure the melting temperature of solid substances.

  • Accurate results using built-in RTD over a range of 30°C to 260°C
  • High-quality 6X viewing lens for clear observation of the samples
  • Innovative, adjustable tilt allows for optimal viewing angle
  • Cooling fan reduces time between tests

Each Melt Station comes with 100 standard capillary tubes. Additional packages of 100 are available.
