The Melting Point Apparatus Automated MPA100 (commonly known as OptiMelt MPA100) is a fully automated benchtop device designed for the precise and efficient determination of the melting point and melting range of solid samples. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and academic laboratories for quality control and research. The system combines a high-resolution digital camera, PID-controlled temperature ramping, and a user-friendly touchscreen interface to deliver accurate, reproducible results without the need for manual observation.
