Melting point apparatus ezMelt M: Versatile and reliable for the laboratory

The ezMelt M melting point apparatus by Electrolab is an economical and versatile solution, designed for laboratories that need a reliable tool for the manual determination of melting points and boiling points. With its compact design, simple operation, and GLP compliance, the ezMelt M is the ideal companion for teaching, research, and basic quality control.

Key features of the ezMelt M melting point apparatus

This product focuses on core functionalities, delivering efficiency and reliability at an affordable price point.

Multi-function: Measures melting point and boiling point

One of the greatest advantages of the ezMelt M is its ability to perform two critical measurements on a single device. The instrument can analyze 3 melting point samples or 1 boiling point sample simultaneously, offering high flexibility for diverse analytical needs.

Manual operation, control at your fingertips

The ezMelt M is designed for manual detection, giving chemists and technicians full control and direct observation of the phase transition process. The soft-touch membrane keypad and the 128×64 blue-white display provide a clear, easy-to-use interface.

Data management and GLP compliance

The device can store 100 methods for melting point, 30 methods for boiling point, and 200 GLP-compliant result reports. All results are date and time-stamped, ensuring traceability. An RS 232 and a parallel port allow for connection to an optional dot matrix printer for hard copy reports.

Solid aluminum heating block

Utilizing a solid aluminum heating block, the ezMelt M ensures uniform and stable heat transfer to the capillaries, a critical factor for obtaining accurate and repeatable results.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

1. What is the main difference between the ezMelt M and the ezMelt A?
The ezMelt M is a manual detection, multi-functional device (also measures boiling point) with a monochrome display and is not 21 CFR Part 11 compliant. In contrast, the ezMelt A is a fully automatic instrument with a color touch screen, video recording, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance, making it suitable for strictly regulated pharmaceutical labs.

2. How does “manual detection” work?
The user observes the sample through a magnifying lens (or viewing port) and presses a button on the keypad when they see the start and end points of the melting process. The instrument records the temperatures at those moments.

3. Is this device suitable for a pharmaceutical lab?
The ezMelt M is GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) compliant, making it suitable for R&D, teaching, or internal quality control. However, it is not 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, so it may not be suitable for generating data for submission to regulatory agencies like the FDA.

4. Can I store and review results on the instrument?
Yes, the device can store up to 200 result reports. You can review them directly on the instrument’s screen.

5. How is the boiling point measured with this device?
The instrument has a specific mode and accessories (usually a dedicated boiling point tube) for this measurement. The user prepares the sample as instructed, and the instrument heats it to determine the liquid’s boiling temperature.
