A melting point system is an analytical instrument used to determine the melting point of solid crystalline substances. At the melting point, there is a change in light transmission through the sample, which is automatically detected with METTLER TOLEDO Excellence Melting Point Systems. In addition to melting point, the versatile MP80 Excellence Melting Point System offers automatic determination of further physical properties, such as boiling point, cloud point, and slip melting point.

Melting Point System MP30
The MP30 is the ideal starter model for melting point and melting range determination, offering simultaneous determination of up to 3 melting point/melting range samples up to a maximum temperature of 570^oF/300_oC.
The MP55 is the ideal starter model and offers simultaneous determination of up to 3 melting point/melting range or 2 slip melting point samples up to a maximum temperature of 570^oF/300^oC.
The MP70 is the ideal choice for melting point and melting range determinations, offering simultaneous determination of up to 4 melting point/melting range samples up to a maximum temperature of 660^oF/350^oC.
Optimized for diverse tasks, the MP80 offers One Click™ melting, boiling, cloud, and slip melting point determination up to a maximum temperature of 660^oF/350^oC.
Optimized for highest throughput, the MP90 offers simultaneous determination of up to 6 melting point/melting range samples up to a maximum temperature of 400^oC/750^oF

The Mettler Toledo MP30 is the "starter" model in the Excellence Melting Point series. It is designed for simple, automatic determination of melting points and melting ranges in laboratory, industrial, and educational settings.
Below is a detailed breakdown of its features, technical specifications, and how it compares to higher-end models.

Key Features
• One Click™ Operation: The user interface is built around a "One Click" philosophy. You can program shortcuts on the 7-inch color touchscreen to start measurements instantly with a single button press.
• Visual Video Recording: The system includes a color video camera that records the entire melting process. This allows you to review the sample behavior (such as color changes or decomposition) after the experiment is finished to verify the automatic results.
• High Throughput: You can measure up to three samples simultaneously. This is a significant efficiency boost over manual "eye-balling" methods.
• Automated Detection: It uses digital image analysis to detect the "collapse" and "clear" points automatically, reducing operator-to-operator variability.
• Data Integrity: Results can be exported directly to a USB stick as a PDF report. It also supports multiple user profiles.

Standard Compliance
• The MP30 is designed to meet the rigorous standards of various international pharmacopeias and quality standards, including:
• USP (United States Pharmacopeia)
• Ph. Eur. (European Pharmacopoeia)
• GLP/GMP requirements (through comprehensive documentation and PDF reports)

How it Differs from Higher Models
• Mettler Toledo offers several models in the "MP" line. Choosing the MP30 means you are focused on melting point only.
• MP30 (This model): The basic starter. Only does melting point.
• MP55: Adds the ability to measure Slip Melting Point (common for fats, waxes, and cosmetics).
• MP70: Increases the temperature range to 350°C and adds more storage for results (up to 20 methods and 100 results).
• MP80/MP90: These are "Multi-parameter" systems that can do Boiling Point, Cloud Point, and Slip Melting Point in addition to standard melting points, with higher temperature ranges and more capillary slots.
