Vernier Melt Station
Order code: MLT-BTA-INTLVERNIER MELT STATION
Vernier's Melt Station connects to a Vernier interface to accurately determine the melting temperature of solid substances.
Features:
• 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 mounting allows you to tilt the Melt Station for optimal viewing angle
• Cooling fan reduces time between tests
• Each Melt Station comes with 100 standard capillary tubes
• Additional MLT-TUBE Vernier Melt Station Capillary Tubes can be purchased separately
Requirements:
This sensor requires suitable software and an interface such as one of the Vernier LabQuest variations or Vernier Go-Link.
For comprehensive details of the possible sensor/interface/software combinations see the Compatibility Guide link below.
Specifications:
• Resolution: 0.10°C
• Accuracy: ± 0.31 + 0.0006T, where T is the temperature in Celsius
• Safety shut down: The heating block is automatically powered down after approximately sixty minutes of heating.
• Capillary tubes: 1.4–1.8mm outside diameter, 100mm length
• Capillary tube slots: 3
• Viewing Lens: 27mm diameter (functional), 30mm (actual)
• Lighting of capillary slots: 3 white LEDs
• Lighting of control dial:
Red LED (indicates heating mode)
Blue LED (indicates cooling mode with cooling fan running)
Yellow LED (safety shut off activated)
