Digital Melting Point Apparatus (Product Code: SLE/ME/43) is a bench instrument used to determine the melting point of solid samples in chemistry, pharmacy and teaching laboratories. It heats two samples at once from ambient to 300 °C, climbing at 20 °C per minute to a chosen plateau and then at 2 °C per minute through the melt, with a PT100 sensor and a large three-digit LED readout. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Melting point is one of the quickest checks on the identity and purity of a crystalline solid: a pure compound melts sharply near its literature value, while impurities lower and widen the melting range. Students use this apparatus to confirm products they have synthesised or recrystallised, to compare an unknown with reference compounds, and to see how a mixed melting point shows whether two samples are the same substance. With two sample positions, an unknown and a reference can be run side by side.
In practice the block is first taken quickly to a plateau a little below the expected melting point, where it waits until the operator is ready; the slower 2 °C per minute ramp then gives time to watch the crystals collapse and note the temperature. Load finely ground, dry sample to a short, even depth in each tube, and set the extendable feet so the view through the cover is comfortable. The three status LEDs help students follow each stage of the test.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies this Digital Melting Point Apparatus from Ambala, Haryana, India. Working as a chemistry lab instruments supplier, the company quotes it for colleges, pharmacy institutes, testing laboratories and dealers in India and international markets, together with melting-point tubes and small lab items if required.

How many samples can the Digital Melting Point Apparatus test at once?
The Digital Melting Point Apparatus takes 2 samples at a time. Running an unknown beside a reference compound, or two recrystallised fractions side by side, makes comparisons quicker and helps students judge purity from the melting behaviour.
What temperature range and accuracy does the Digital Melting Point Apparatus offer?
The Digital Melting Point Apparatus works from ambient temperature to 300 °C, with 1 °C resolution and an accuracy of ±1% of the displayed temperature. Readings come from a PT100 sensor and appear on a large three-digit LED display.
How does heating work on the Digital Melting Point Apparatus?
The Digital Melting Point Apparatus heats at 20 °C per minute to a selected plateau and holds there until you start the test. It then ramps at 2 °C per minute to the melt, giving time to observe each sample closely.
How is the Digital Melting Point Apparatus cleaned?
The viewing cover of the Digital Melting Point Apparatus is easily removed, giving access to the bulb and allowing cleaning. Take out used tubes once the block has cooled, and wipe away any spilled sample so it does not affect later readings.
What mains supply does the Digital Melting Point Apparatus need?
The mains supply for the Digital Melting Point Apparatus is not stated in our current listing. Tell us your laboratory voltage and frequency through the contact page, and we will confirm suitability before the quotation is issued.
Who supplies the Digital Melting Point Apparatus?
The Digital Melting Point Apparatus is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to colleges, pharmacy institutes, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets, with quotations prepared on request.
Is a calibration certificate available for the Digital Melting Point Apparatus?
Calibration-certificate availability for the Digital Melting Point Apparatus should be discussed with us before you order. Mention the document you need when you enquire, and we will confirm what can accompany the instrument.
For a quotation on the Digital Melting Point Apparatus, write to us through the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart with melting-point tubes and any other items for your chemistry laboratory.
