The KR-X4 series microscopic melting point instrument is an integrated optical thermal analysis device developed for precise melting point identification of crystalline organic substances. It combines high-definition observation microscope and precision temperature-controlled heating platform, supporting two mainstream testing workflows: capillary tube method and slide hot table method, fully complying with pharmaceutical, chemical industry melting point detection norms.
This bench-top tester features digital real-time temperature readout, stepless adjustable heating rate and rapid forced air cooling system. Operators can directly observe the full crystal melting process under magnification to record initial melting point and complete clear point, which serves as core basis for raw material purity judgment, substance identification and formulation screening. Widely deployed in pharmaceutical factories, fine chemical labs, dye & fragrance manufacturers, textile material research institutes and university chemistry teaching labs.

Core Product Competitive Advantages
- Dual Observation Models for Two Test Standards
KR-X4A is equipped with monocular optical lens for basic routine inspection; KR-X4B upgrades to binocular stereoscopic microscope for fatigue-free long-time observation. Both versions support both capillary tube loading and flat slide hot table testing, compatible with powdery, granular and sheet crystalline samples without extra replacement accessories.
2.High-Precision Closed-Loop Temperature Control
Built-in platinum resistance temperature sensor delivers 0.1℃ minimum display resolution. Temperature repeatability is controlled within ±1℃ below 200℃ and ±2℃ above 200℃. Coarse & fine dual heating adjustment knobs realize linear ramp rate control from low-speed precise scanning to fast preheating, avoiding overshoot distortion of melting range data.
3.Integrated Windshield Heating Stage & Fast Cooling Fan
Sealed windshield structure isolates ambient airflow interference to stabilize heating field and reduce test error. Independent silent cooling fan rapidly cools the heating block from high temperature to room temperature within several minutes, cutting waiting time between batch samples and improving daily lab testing throughput.
4.Ergonomic All-Copper Focus Adjustment Mechanism
Full copper focusing guide rails with triple adjusting knobs (coarse focus, fine focus, height locking) achieve sharp, stable sample imaging. High-transmittance wide-angle eyepieces and clear objective lens eliminate blurring during long-term continuous observation of crystal melting state changes.
5.Compact All-In-One Desktop Layout & Simple Maintenance
Integrated host structure occupies small countertop space, easy to move and store. Detachable heating stage design facilitates residue cleaning after each test. All control switches (heating/cooling/dimming) are concentrated on front panel for one-handed operation without complex parameter setting steps.
6.Complete Standard Matching Accessory Kit
Comes with standard melting capillary tubes, glass slides, cover slips, sample tweezers and storage container. All consumables are included upon delivery, allowing immediate testing after unpacking without separate auxiliary part procurement.

Standard Complete Test Operating Process
1. Capillary Tube Method (Mainstream Pharmaceutical Standard)
- Grind dry crystalline sample into fine powder, fill into standard capillary tube to 2~3mm height and compact evenly.
- Fix capillary on the heating stage slot, adjust microscope height to align sample in center of field of view.
- Turn on heating switch, set low heating rate when approaching estimated melting temperature for precise observation.
- Record temperature when crystal shrinks and liquefies (initial melting point) and when solid disappears fully (clear melting point).
- Turn off heating, activate cooling fan to quickly lower stage temperature for next group testing.
2. Hot Slide Table Method (For Flaky & Crystal Morphology Observation)
- Place tiny sample particle on clean glass slide, cover with thin cover slip and lay flat on heating platform.
- Adjust light brightness via dimming knob to get clear crystal imaging under magnification.
- Slowly heat to observe crystal deformation, melting and phase change in real time under lens, record full melting temperature.
- Cool stage completely, wipe residual sample off slide for repeated use.
