Multiple methods such as melting, boiling, cloud, and slip melting-point determination can be used to characterise a substance and analyse its properties. Mettler Toledo’s Excellence Melting Point systems offer the possibility of measuring these thermal values accurately and automatically in various applications and industries. With simple operating routines, an intuitive colour touch screen, and automatic end point detection, you can perform measurements quickly and with just one click of a button.
Pharmaceutical
Pharmaceutical companies are required to verify the identity of precursor materials used in the preparation of medications. Based on the melting point of a substance, samples can be tested for purity and identity at the same time.
Chemical
Plastics, polymers, and other synthetic products play an important role in chemical processes. Excellence Melting Point systems can be used to analyse the quality of different raw materials used in polymer synthesis, while fully complying with standards and regulations in the chemical industry, thus ensuring a high-quality end-product.
Food and beverage
Food and beverage flavour profiles are complex and involve various ingredients and additives. Selection and subsequent quality control of a suitable additive is key to the production of an end-product that meets consumer satisfaction.
Academia
A liquid is characterised by its boiling point. The MP80 system ensures that results are trustworthy as automatic superheating detection excludes inaccurate results. Furthermore, customisable user shortcuts can be created to simplify tasks and to reduce the workload of lab personnel.
Cosmetics
Cosmetics are composed of many chemical compounds, and quality control procedures for both the raw products and the formulated cosmetics are well established. With the MP55 and MP80 systems, users can now determine the slip melting point of cosmetics and waxes quickly, accurately, and automatically.
Paints and dyes
Surfactants, emulsifiers, and dispersions act as stabilisers in many paints and dyes. Using each product at the right temperature is essential to maintaining its long-term quality. The MP80 system allows one to determine the cloud point (heating) of up to two surfactants, emulsifiers, or dispersions simultaneously.
