Melt Station

Recommended for College. Interface and software sold separately.

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

Description

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.
