Manual Events
Each melt determination may contain events of interest that require highlighting in the report. The
SMP40 allows the user to review the melt video and add defined event information to specific
timeframes for each individual capillary tube. Both the automatically determined events and any
manually added events are shown in the analysis report.
The Tagged Events field can be used to add the following events:
Clear point:
The sample is a clear liquid. Solid particles are no longer visible.
Collapse point: The substance collapses and begins to liquefy.
Decomposition point: The separation of a substance into its elements or smaller compounds. Often
seen as discolouration or charring of the sample.
End of melt: The point at which no further changes in the physical form of the substance are being
seen.
Start of melt:
Droplets of liquid are clearly visible for the first time.
Meniscus point: A meniscus becomes clearly visible at the surface of the sample but solid particles
remain visible in the liquid.
Sublimation point:
The substance undergoes a transition from the solid to gas phase with no
intermediate liquid stage.
Other:
Use this tag if an event occurs that is not accurately described by the events listed previously.
