The MPA3P Portable Melting Point Apparatus is a compact laboratory instrument for determining the melting point of solid substances using capillary tubes. It can process 3 samples simultaneously, features a touchscreen display, PID temperature control, adjustable heating rate from 0.1°C to 10°C/min, and an optical lens for clear real-time observation of the melting process.

3. Detailed Product Description

Product Overview

The Labmart MPA3P Portable Melting Point Apparatus is designed for melting-point determination under controlled and reproducible heating conditions. A sample is placed inside a capillary tube and heated while the melting process is observed.

Its compact format, touchscreen interface and ability to process three samples at the same time make it suitable for routine laboratory melting-point analysis. The instrument uses PID temperature control and allows the heating rate to be adjusted between 0.1°C/min and 10°C/min. An optical lens provides clear, real-time observation of the melting process.
