Melting-Point Tubes
Melting-Point Tubes (Product Code: SLE/ME/44) are thin-walled capillary tubes used to hold small powdered samples during melting point determination in chemistry, pharmacy and teaching laboratories. Each tube is 100 mm long and 1 mm in diameter, so it needs only a tiny amount of sample and lets heat pass quickly from the heating block to the solid. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier for India and international markets.

What Are Melting-Point Tubes Used For?
In the capillary method, a finely ground solid is packed into the closed end of a melting-point tube, the tube is placed in a melting point apparatus, and the temperature at which the solid starts and finishes melting is recorded. A pure compound melts over a narrow range, while impurities lower and broaden it, so these tubes are central to identifying organic compounds and checking the purity of products such as recrystallised samples in school and college chemistry lab equipment sets.
To fill a tube, press the open end into a small heap of dry, powdered sample, then tap or drop the tube, closed end down, so the solid settles into a short, tightly packed column. Use a fresh tube for every determination and wipe the outside clean before inserting it into the heating block.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of tubes required — the pack size is not listed here, so tell us your total quantity.
- Which melting point apparatus you use, so we can check the 1 mm diameter suits its sample holes.
- Whether one end should already be sealed, or whether you seal the tubes yourself.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies Melting-Point Tubes as a consumable for chemistry and pharmacy practicals. Because the tubes are used once and discarded, schools and colleges usually re-order them each term alongside their melting point apparatus and other consumables.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the Melting-Point Tubes?
The Melting-Point Tubes are thin-walled capillary tubes, 100 mm long and 1 mm in diameter. The narrow bore holds only a small amount of sample, which helps the solid heat evenly and makes the start and end of melting easier to see.
Are the Melting-Point Tubes sealed at one end?
This listing does not state whether the Melting-Point Tubes are supplied with one end sealed. Please confirm with us before ordering; tubes open at both ends are normally sealed at one end in a small flame before filling.
Which apparatus can the Melting-Point Tubes be used with?
The Melting-Point Tubes are intended for capillary melting point apparatus, such as the digital and analogue melting point units in our Measuring range. Check that the 1 mm tube diameter suits the sample holes of your apparatus before ordering.
Can the Melting-Point Tubes be reused?
No, the Melting-Point Tubes are normally used once, because the melted and re-solidified sample cannot easily be cleaned out of such a narrow bore. Dispose of used tubes safely in a sharps container.
How many Melting-Point Tubes come in a pack?
The pack size of the Melting-Point Tubes is not listed on this page. Tell us the total number of tubes you need through the contact page, and we will confirm the pack quantities we can supply in the quotation.
Who supplies the Melting-Point Tubes?
The Melting-Point Tubes are 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 sent on request.
