Analogue Melting Point (Product Code: SLE/ME/46) is a knob-controlled melting point apparatus used to observe and determine the melting temperature of solid samples in chemistry and pharmacy teaching laboratories. Its dual heating block takes up to two samples at once, working from ambient to 380 °C at a heating rate set on a rotary knob up to 20 °C/min, while a magnifying eyepiece lit by a white LED shows the melt clearly. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry lab instruments supplier.

With two sample positions, this apparatus is well suited to the mixed melting point test taught in organic chemistry: one tube holds the unknown and the other holds the unknown mixed with a known reference compound. If both melt at the same temperature, the identity is supported; a lower, broader melt in the mixture shows they differ. Pharmacy students use the same side-by-side comparison to check the purity of recrystallised drug substances.
For good results, turn the knob to a faster rate to approach the expected melting point, then reduce the heating rate so the last few degrees rise slowly, and watch both samples through the illuminated eyepiece. Allow the block to cool before loading the next pair of tubes, and keep the eyepiece clean so the melt is easy to judge.

How many samples can the Analogue Melting Point apparatus test at once?
The Analogue Melting Point apparatus has a dual heating block that tests up to a maximum of two samples simultaneously. This allows an unknown and a reference, or two student samples, to be compared under exactly the same heating conditions.
What temperature range does the Analogue Melting Point apparatus cover?
The Analogue Melting Point apparatus operates from ambient temperature up to 380 °C, with temperatures shown in °C. This covers the melting points of the organic compounds normally studied in school, college and pharmacy practicals.
How is the heating rate controlled on the Analogue Melting Point apparatus?
On the Analogue Melting Point apparatus, a rotary knob sets the heating rate, up to a maximum of 20 °C/min. Users typically heat faster at first and then turn the rate down as the sample approaches its expected melting point.
How are samples viewed in the Analogue Melting Point apparatus?
The Analogue Melting Point apparatus has a magnifying lens in its eyepiece, and a bright white LED illuminates the samples. Together they give a clear view of each sample as it softens and melts inside its capillary tube.
What power supply does the Analogue Melting Point apparatus need?
The Analogue Melting Point apparatus runs on a 230V, 50Hz electrical supply and is rated at 50W. Its cabinet measures W185 × D220 × H176 mm with a net weight of 1.2 kg, so it fits easily on a laboratory bench.
Who supplies the Analogue Melting Point apparatus?
The Analogue Melting Point apparatus is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, pharmacy institutes and dealers in India and international markets, with quotations prepared on request.
