Dropping Point System DP90
Sub-Zero Possibilities.The DP90 offers simultaneous dropping and softening point determination of two samples from –20°C to 400°C. It consists of a control unit and a separate measuring cell that can be placed in a refrigerator or deep freezer.
Simple One Click™ Operation
The One Click™ user interface enables users to start measurements with a single click of the button.
Trusted performance
With the visual camera observation and digital image analysis, highly accurate dropping/softening point temperatures are obtained fully automatically.
Determination at sub-ambient temperature
When placed in a refrigerator or freezer, the external cell allows reliable characterization of ointments, creams, and edible fats.
Material No.: 30578109
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.
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.
Conformity with current standards
Operation according to standards of ASTM International, European Pharmacopeia and further standards makes it easier to compare measurement results.
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.

| Wider Temperature Range Dropping point determinations at subambient temperature can only be performed using a DP90 Dropping Point System. It consists of a control unit and a separate measuring cell, which can be placed into a refrigerator or deep freezer. |  |
| Reliable measurements in pharma, cosmetics and food industry The DP90 combines all advantages of a DP70 with the possibility to start a measurement from -20 °C. The minimum temperature is reached safely thanks to the excellent insulation of the furnace and use of a LED light source which prevents self warming of the measuring cell. |  |
| 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. |  |
| Fullfills increased regulatory needs Access control with username and password, duplicate determination and perfect result documentation are only a few equipment characteristics which correspond to needs of regulatory compliance. |  |
