View resource →Product overview
M5000 automatically detects changes in sample transmission and determines melting point, reducing observer variability. Rapid preheating and fan cooling support sequential measurements across the range.
Advantages
Melting-point detection and sample observation
- Transmission measurement detects the melting point automatically, reducing subjective judgement; an alarm signals the melting point.
- One capillary position for powdered samples up to 400 °C.
Heating programmes and rapid cooling
- Selectable 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 °C/min heating rates for unknown substances.
- Rapid preheating and automatic cooling with an integrated fan reduce waiting between measurements.
- Approximately four minutes to 200 °C and nine minutes to 300 °C.
Display, records and supplied items
- LCD displays key measuring data in German or English; wipeable membrane keypad.
- RS-232 outputs data to a separately purchased CBM910 printer.
- Delivery includes a protective cover and 100 capillaries.
