An advanced Microcontroller and step through menu system accuratly controls the oven
temperature and ramp rate. Melt temperatures can be viewed using the keypad.
Two ramp rates are offed. A quick ramp is provided to define the approximate melt temperature of
your sample while the slower ramp rate is provided to accurately attain the true melt temperature
of your chemical sample.
White LED oven illumination assists in the clear viewing of melt samples.
