Melting point is one of the most frequently determined thermal values for material characterization. With these new melting point systems (photo), only one click is required to run melting point determination. The units feature an intuitive, color touch-screen interface that makes instrument operation simple. Clever navigation properties, an online screen featuring current measurements, and a unique user-specific home screen with shortcut buttons, provide ease-of-use and security. As a result, the user is quickly acquainted with the instrument. All-three available models, the MP50, MP70 and MP90, are supported with video recordings and the ability to simultaneously measure up to six samples. Color changes, the transparency point, and the decomposition temperature can also be investigated. The underlying measurement principle and norm conformity are said to assure exact and reliable results. — Mettler Toledo North America, Columbus, Ohio
