Apparatus Melting Point
Product Code : LSK-CL-10034
Apparatus Melting Point (SKU LSK-CL-10034) is an electrically heated melting point apparatus that warms samples in capillary tubes from ambient temperature up to 350 °C, with backlit, lens-magnified viewing. It is designed for education, so chemistry and pharmacy students can identify compounds and judge their purity. Science Lab Supplies offers it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Samples sit in an aluminium heating block surrounded by ceramic insulation, which keeps heat away from the casing. A single front knob combines the main switch with a 0–10 arbitrary heat scale, a rapid heat switch speeds warm-up, and a rear selector gives a light or dark viewing background.

Applications and Experiments for the Melting Point Apparatus
A pure crystalline solid melts sharply at a characteristic temperature, while impurities lower and broaden the range. Students load a powdered sample into a capillary tube, heat it in the block and watch through the lens for the moment it melts, reading the temperature on a thermometer.
- Higher-secondary chemistry: determining the melting point of an organic compound as a test of purity.
- B.Sc. organic chemistry practicals: identifying unknown compounds and checking recrystallised products.
- B.Pharm. and D.Pharm. labs: melting point checks on drug substances as taught in pharmaceutical analysis.
- Mixed melting point tests to confirm whether two samples are the same compound.
The block reaches 350 °C: let it cool before handling, keep the unit on a stable bench, and connect it only to a correctly earthed 230 V supply.
Standard Scope of Supply
The apparatus is supplied with instructions. The thermometer, capillary tubes and cooling plug are available as accessories rather than standard contents, so list the ones you need and they will appear as separate lines on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may ask for one unit for a demonstration bench or several for a practical class; the quotation will show packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Accessories and other chemistry lab equipment in India from our list can be quoted together.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. For a quotation, write through the contact page or the enquiry cart; the lab tender page explains institutional supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature range does it cover?
From ambient up to 350 °C, which covers the melting points of most organic compounds met in school, college and pharmacy practicals.
Are the thermometer and capillary tubes included?
No. The thermometer, capillary tubes and cooling plug are available as accessories. The apparatus itself comes with instructions.
Who supplies the Apparatus Melting Point?
It is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, and can be quoted with accessories and related organic chemistry glassware on a single offer.
What does the background selector do?
The rear selector switches between a light and a dark background behind the backlit tubes, so both white and coloured samples can be seen clearly as they melt.
Related Melting Point and Organic Lab Items
Melting point work needs a reliable thermometer, a way to grind samples finely and, for larger classes, a simpler back-up method. These four items meet those needs and fit the same organic chemistry practicals, so they can be quoted with this apparatus.
- Simple Melting Point Apparatus — a basic alternative for introductory classes.
- Laboratory Thermometers — for reading the melting temperature.
- Porcelain Mortar and Pestle — grinds samples before loading capillaries.
- Apparatus Organic Chemistry — glassware for preparing the compounds being tested.
