Melting Point Analyser FP62 - Good

FP62 Melting Point Analyzer – Automatic Precision for Reliable Analysis

The FP62 digital melting point analyzer from Mettler Toledo is a cutting-edge device designed to offer unparalleled precision and ease of use in determining the melting points of solid samples. Utilizing an optical detection method, the FP62 monitors the reflection and transmittance of light as a substance transitions from its crystalline to its liquid state, providing accurate measurements that are not influenced by the operator's subjective impressions. This makes the FP62 an essential tool for laboratories that require consistent and reproducible results.

One of the key advantages of the FP62 is its ability to cater to a wide range of applications, from educational environments to rigorous quality control in industrial settings. The instrument is capable of determining the melting points of various solid compounds, making it a versatile addition to any laboratory’s equipment. With a maximum temperature range of up to 300°C and an accuracy of ±0.5°C, the FP62 ensures reliable performance across a broad spectrum of materials.

The FP62's operational process is simple and automated, minimizing the risk of human error. Users can simply place 1 to 3 mg of the sample into a disposable sample tube, insert it into the instrument, and select the desired starting temperature and heating rate using the function keys. The instrument then automatically detects the melting point, providing both visual and audible signals when the process is complete. The melting temperature is clearly displayed on the large, easy-to-read LCD screen.

Designed for convenience, the FP62 features a compact design that easily fits into any laboratory environment. The unit’s dimensions (12.07 cm in height, 28.56 cm in depth, and 24.13 cm in width) and lightweight construction make it easy to move and store. Additionally, the instrument is equipped with an RS-232C interface, enabling smooth data transfer and connectivity with external devices such as the GA42 printer for applications that comply with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

The FP62 also offers great flexibility in its use, with user-selectable heating rates ranging from 0.1°C to 10°C per minute, adjustable in increments of 0.1°C. This allows users to customize the heating profile according to the specific characteristics of the sample, ensuring optimal conditions for accurate melting point determination. The rapid heat-up time, from 50°C to 300°C in just 3 minutes, further enhances the efficiency of the analysis process.

In addition to its technical capabilities, the FP62 is designed to be intuitive, with an operator interface that simplifies setup and programming. The graphical aids provided by the interface make it easy to configure the instrument according to the user’s specific needs. The large LCD screen displays temperature readings with a resolution of 0.1°C, ensuring that even the smallest temperature changes are captured and displayed accurately.

The FP62 melting point analyzer from Mettler Toledo is a robust and reliable device, combining advanced optical detection technology with ease of use and flexibility. Whether used for quality control, educational purposes, or research and development, the FP62 delivers consistent and precise results that laboratory professionals can depend on.
