Melting point apparatus ezMelt A: Automatic, accurate, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliant

In the pharmaceutical and chemical industries, determining the melting point is one of the most fundamental and critical measurements for identifying the purity of a compound. The ezMelt A melting point apparatus by Electrolab is a modern, fully automated solution designed to deliver accurate, repeatable results while complying with the industry’s strictest regulations.

Breakthrough features of the ezMelt A melting point apparatus

This instrument integrates the latest technologies to simplify the analysis process and ensure data integrity.

Full automation with video recording

The ezMelt A automatically detects the melting point and melting range of a sample without operator intervention. The entire process is recorded as a video, allowing for visual review and analysis, which eliminates subjectivity and enhances the reliability of the results.

Comprehensive 21 CFR Part 11 and GLP compliance

This is a key factor for regulated laboratories. The ezMelt A, with its EzIntegrity software, fully meets the requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 for electronic records and signatures. All results are date and time-stamped and are GLP compliant, ensuring data integrity and traceability.

Intuitive interface and powerful data management

The device is equipped with a user-friendly 7-inch TFT touch screen for easy operation. It can store up to 1000 methods and 1000 result reports. With LAN, WAN, and USB interfaces, connecting to a computer, printer, keyboard, and mouse is extremely convenient.

Superior thermal performance

With a wide temperature range from ambient to 400°C and an intelligent PID controller, the ezMelt A ensures fast and precise heating. The ramp rate is flexibly adjustable from 0.1°C to 20°C per minute, delivering reliable results with high accuracy and reproducibility.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What does 21 CFR Part 11 compliance mean for this device?
It means the ezMelt A ensures the security and integrity of electronic data. It includes features like multi-level user management, a non-deletable audit trail, and electronic signatures, which are mandatory for pharmaceutical companies submitting records to the US FDA.

2. How many samples can be tested at once?
The ezMelt A can analyze 4 samples simultaneously, which increases productivity and efficiency in the laboratory.

3. How does the video recording function work?
The device uses an integrated camera to record the entire melting process of the sample. This video is attached to the result report, allowing users to review the exact moment and manner in which the sample changes state, which is very useful for verification and training purposes.

4. Can I export or print the results?
Yes, you can easily print GLP-compliant reports directly from the device via the USB port or connect to a LAN/WAN to transfer data to a computer and LIMS system.

5. What is the difference between “automatic” and “manual” detection?
In automatic mode, the instrument identifies the start and end of melting based on changes in light intensity passing through the sample and records the result. In manual mode, the user observes the video and manually presses a button to record the critical temperature points.
