Configuration Options
The MPS11 series is available in two primary voltage configurations, each supplied with a spirit-filled thermometer and a pack of glass melting point tubes. The apparatus allows for the simultaneous viewing of up to three samples via an illuminated magnifying lens.
- MPS11-120: 120V model
- MPS11-240: 240V model
Available Options and Accessories
The series supports several optional accessories to extend functionality or replace consumables:
- MPS11-SFT: Spare thermometer, spirit filled, 0 to 250°C (32 to 482°F)
- MPS11-PLUG: Cooling plug (brass) for rapidly reducing heating block temperature after use
- MPS10-TUBES: Glass melting point tubes, closed at one end, pack of 100
- MPS40-TUBESSEALED: Glass melting point tubes, closed at both ends, pack of 100
- MPS11-TUBESOPEN: Spare glass melting point tubes, open at both ends, pack of 100
Key Product Differences
The primary distinction between the stocked variants is the mains voltage input. The MPS11-120 operates on 120V, while the MPS11-240 operates on 240V; both share identical physical dimensions of 370 W x 140 D x 110 mm H (15 x 5.5 x 4.3") and a weight of 1.7 kg (3.7 lb). Both models include instructions printed directly on the apparatus in most European languages.
