The updated and improved IA9000 Series Digital Melting Point Apparatus offers an easy way to measure the melting points of up to 3 samples simultaneously without sacrificing accuracy; the temperature resolution is within 0.1 °C. The starting temperature of the approximate melting range can easily be input via the membrane keypad using the simple intuitive menus. The unit quickly heats up to this temperature and gives an optical and acoustic signal once it has been reached. When the operator then presses another key, the device begins to heat up at a constant rate (IA 9100 fixed at 1 °C/min., IA 9200 and IA 9300 adjustable between 0.2 to 10 °C/min. in increments of 0.1 °C).
Up to 4 melting points (IA 9300 up to 6 melting points) can be recorded and transferred to the memory as discreet temperatures for later recall on the display. Model IA 9200/9300 provides the opportunity for computer-supported data analysis. An accessory printer enables documentation of the results, date, time (real time) and sample number.
