Digital Melting Point Apparatus IA9000 Series Electrothermal
The IA9000 series operate from a low voltage source for safety and convenience. The viewing arm is adjustable in length and angle to ensure that the samples are easily seen and also to prevent operator fatigue. When not in use the viewing head folds flat for easy storage. A x8 magnifier with wide viewing angle and high intensity illumination allows good visibility of the three sample capillaries. The oven used to heat the samples is microprocessor controlled to provide the fastest warm up and the most accurate temperature control. Capillary tubes up to 2mm diameter can be used and the tube guide is removable for cleaning and insertion of the cold finger.

Meets the requirement for basic sample testing. Up/ down keys are used to set ramp start temperature, then a standard ramp of 1°C per minute is used to heat the sample. If the melt temperature is not known, a 10°C per minute search ramp can be used to give coarse measurement of melt temperature. When watching the samples for the melt to occur a temperature storage button is pressed to record up to four discreet temperatures in the memory. These temperatures can be recalled later on the LCD display.
Model IA9200
The IA9200 additionally has five different standard temperature ramps or it can be programmed by the operator to use any temperature increase rate from 0.2°C to 10°C per minute in 0.1°C steps. An output connector allows interface with the PR2000S printer accessory or other peripheral devices. A USB output is also provided for use with accessory flash drives. A real-time clock enables the printing of date and time. A batch memory allows the storage of up to 1000 sets of results and conditions.

Provides similar features to the IA9200 but allows in addition, two discreet melt temperatures to be recorded for each capillary tube. This feature enables, for example, the clear recording of a “start of melt” and “full meniscus” temperature for each of the three samples under test. A tube select key toggles between the sample tubes and LED indicators on a head up display behind the viewing lens show which tube is selected. The batch memory allows storage of up to 500 sets of results and conditions.
