The Stuart automatic melting point is the first melting point to utilise a split concept. The control side can be separated from the sample side allowing maximum footprint flexibility, the sample side can be located at the back of the bench to give more space or even in a fume cupboard if required. The control side can also be used in two orientations, either landscape or portrait, this allows a more comfortable viewing angle whether you are stood or sat at the bench. The control side automatically detects which orientation it is in and flips the screen to always be the right way up.

It is inevitable that at some point in the life of a melting point apparatus the block will need cleaning. The SMP40 has been cleverly designed to allow easy access to the block to make this necessary job as easy as possible.

The design on the SMP40 utilises a protective safety hood which, when loaded, protects your samples from accidental sideswipes. The hood also acts as a light shield ensuring that adjustments in the ambient lighting conditions don’t affect the automatic melting point determination.
