FAQs of DURO LAB 432-1B DIGITAL MELTING POINT APPARATUS :
Q: How does the DURO LAB 432-1B Digital Melting Point Apparatus determine melting points?
A: The apparatus uses a precision platinum RTD sensor to monitor temperature rise as samples are heated in glass capillary tubes. Users observe sample changes through the built-in magnifying lens on a digital LED display, allowing accurate determination when samples reach their melting point.
Q: What samples and applications is this melting point apparatus suitable for?
A: It is suitable for a variety of pharmaceutical, chemical, and academic research samples. The apparatus can analyze up to three solid samples simultaneously, making it ideal for laboratories needing efficient, reliable melting point determinations.
Q: When should I use the ramp rate control feature and how is it adjusted?
A: Ramp rate control should be used when testing samples with specific melting characteristics. Users can digitally adjust the heating rate (up to 10C per minute) via the control panel, ensuring optimal conditions for both rapid and delicate measurements.
Q: Where can this apparatus be installed within a laboratory setting?
A: With dimensions of 340 x 220 x 170 mm and a lightweight design (approx. 3.5 kg), the DURO LAB 432-1B fits easily on standard laboratory benches. Its robust build and safe operation allow placement in any regulated laboratory environment.
Q: What is the process for running a melting point determination with this equipment?
A: Insert up to three samples in standard 1.4 mm glass capillary tubes into the holder, set your desired temperature and ramp rate, and start the run. Observe sample behavior through the magnifier and digital display. The apparatus will sound an audio-visual alarm when set temperatures are reached.
Q: What are the benefits of the audio-visual alarm system during usage?
A: The alarm system promptly notifies users when the set temperature has been attained, preventing over-heating and ensuring consistent sample integrity. This feature increases laboratory safety and helps maintain measurement accuracy.
Q: How does natural convection cooling enhance the melting point measurement process?
A: Natural convection provides gradual cooling between runs without the need for additional cooling equipment. This simplifies operation, shortens downtime, and allows users to quickly prepare for consecutive measurements, supporting efficient laboratory workflows.
