Kr\u00fcss Optronic in Hamburg can automatically measure melting points precisely and repeatably. The device is an ideal solution for applications in which multiple samples in powder form with melting points between 25\u00b0C and 400\u00b0C have to be examined in continuous laboratory operation with little time and staff involvement.<\/p>\n<p>The M5000 determines the melting point digitally, without human involvement. The laboratory assistant only needs to fill the sample into the measuring capillary tube, insert this into the meter and start the measurement. Within a few minutes, the M5000 runs through the temperature range until the melting point is identified and signals that the measurement<br \/>\nis complete by sounding an alarm. Starting from room temperature, a temperature of 300\u00b0 C is reached in under four minutes, the final temperature of 400\u00b0C after 7.5 minutes. The results of the measurement can immediately be read on the clear digital display with a degree of accuracy of 0.1\u00b0C and, if required, can be documented by means of an external printer, which can be connected directly to the meter.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the integrated cooling fan, the M5000 is soon ready for the next measurement. Accuracy of measurement and repeatability of the results hold up to any comparison. Up to 200\u00b0C, the M5000 measures to an accuracy of 0.2\u00b0C, above that to  0.5\u00b0C. The measurement values can be repeated over the whole temperature range with an accuracy of  0.2\u00b0C.  The membrane keypad, which is easy to clean, consists of only four keys, two of which are used to select functions from a menu, the third starts the measuring program and the fourth prints out the results via the RS232 serial interface.<\/p>\n<p>The elegant table-top meter, which is about the size of a telephone, is supplied complete with a protective cover and 100 small melting point tubes. Since it is so easy to use, the M5000 does not have to be operated by trained laboratory staff, but can also be used by production staff who have been instructed appropriately. The M5000 meets the regulations of the GLP, FDA and Pharmacopoea Eruopaea for use in the manufacture of drugs. The M5000 is typically used in the chemical industry, such as in the manufacture of plastic and paints, in food production and monitoring, in pharmacology, and also in forensics, where the purity of  substances can be determined by its melting behavior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The fully automatic M5000 melting point meter from A.
