The MPS11 has been designed with both safety and ease of operation in mind, making it ideal for use in education. 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. Easy to follow instructions are printed directly on to the apparatus and are available in most European languages. With a manually adjustable heating rate, the MPS11 will rapidly heat samples up to 20°C (68°F) per minute to the melt temperature and up to the maximum temperature of 250°C (482°F). Accurate readings to within 1°C (34°F) of the melt temperature can be achieved by using a slower heating rate of between 1 and 10°C (50°F) per minute. Up to 3 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 to the instrument. Melting Point Tubes Made from soda glass, these tubes are easy to seal in a Bunsen flame and cleanly break in two. Supplied in a robust tube holder, pack of 100 tubes. Tube overall length is 100 mm Tube diameter = 1.9 mm (0.07"), inner diameter = 1.3 mm (0.05") and wall thickness = 0.3 mm (0.01")
