Stanford Research Systems MPA120 Overview
The Stanford Research model MPA120 is a fully automated melting point apparatus that determines the melting points of chemical substances. It’s fast, accurate, and very easy to use. You simply enter the start temperature, stop temperature, ramp rate and press Start. The MPA120 is specifically designed for unattended (automated) operation. During a melt, a closed-loop PID algorithm controls temperature ramping, and a built-in digital camera continuously monitors your samples as they melt. Using digital image processing technology, images are analyzed and the melting points (clear point and onset of melt) are determined. Results are read on the large 4-digit LED display.
