The MPS11 has been designed with both safety and 
ease of operation in mind, making it ideal for use in 
education. Supplied with a safe, spirit filled mercury free 
thermometer, the low toxic blue spirit will not pose a 
health hazard in the event of a breakage. Easy to follow 
instructions are printed directly on to the apparatus and 
are available in most European languages.
With a manually adjustable heating rate, the MPS11 
will rapidly heat samples up to 20°C (68°F) per minute 
to the melt temperature and up to the maximum 
temperature of 250°C (482°F). Accurate readings 
to within 1°C (34°F) of the melt temperature can be 
achieved by using a slower heating rate of between  
1 and 10°C (50°F) per minute.
Up to 3 samples can be viewed and tested at any one 
time. Samples are illuminated by a bright white LED 
and viewed via a magnifying lens. The magnifying 
lens can be detached for cleaning using the simple to 
follow instructions printed on to the instrument.
Melting Point Tubes
Made from soda glass, these tubes are easy to seal in 
a Bunsen flame and cleanly break in two. Supplied in 
a robust tube holder, pack of 100 tubes. Tube overall 
length is 100 mm Tube diameter = 1.9 mm (0.07"), 
inner diameter = 1.3 mm (0.05") and wall thickness  
= 0.3 mm (0.01")
