Dropping Point System DP70
Reliable and Efficient.The DP70 offers simultaneous dropping and softening point determination of two samples up to a maximum temperature of 752°F/400°C.
Simple One Click™ Operation
The One Click™ user interface enables users to start measurements with a single click of the button.
Color video recording
With the high resolution on-screen video, measurements can be observed in real time or conveniently replayed to verify the results.
Trusted performance
With the visual camera observation and digital image analysis, highly accurate dropping/softening point temperatures are obtained fully automatically.
Material No.: 30578107
Features
Comprehensive and intuitive operation
The large color display and touch screen with the intuitive One Click™ user interface minimizes training and operator influence. Quick familiarization is guaranteed with the common user interface for all Analytical Laboratory instruments.
Efficient analyses
Simultaneous measurement of two samples saves valuable time and effort. Short heating and cooling times allow more analyses to be performed in a shorter period of time.
Fast and accurate sample preparation
The accessory box contains all required tools for correct and quick sample preparation and handling. Disposable cups and glassware eliminate the need for tedious cleanup.
Conformity with relevant standards
Full support to comply with the relevant international and national norms and standards, such as ASTM International and Ph. Eur. is ensured.
Complete results documentation
All results are securely archived and can be tracked at any time. Analysis data can be printed out, saved as a pdf file, or directly transferred to a PC.
User Management
Instrument settings can be personalized with shortcuts and the selected operator language. The user management system allows different levels of access to be defined, protecting critical data.

| Unmatched measurement principle Visual camera observation and digital image analysis guarantee that the determinations are reliable.The high resolution color videos recorded during the measurement can be repeatedly played back on the instrument. This allows you to check unexpected results by visually reviewing measurements. |  |
| Reliable results Simultaneous analysis of two samples delivers the mean value and the difference of the single results. Measurements can include conformity checks and automatic printout of results in one simple step, which prevents transcription errors and operator bias that occur with manual methods. |  |
| Conformity with current standards Operation according to standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM International), European Pharmacopeia and further standards makes it easier to compare measurement results. You can use all the cups specified in these standards with the innovative sample carrier. |  |
| Complete result documentation All results are securely archived and can be tracked at any time. Whether you print out results on a strip or network printer, save reports as PDF, or directly transfer all result files including video to a PC, you always get the maximum information possible from your measurements. In addition the result file in CSV format (comma separated values) enables the read-out of selected data by LIMS-software. |  |
