Stanford Research Systems sent out demo units to a few universities to get feedback on DigiMelt before going into full production. Here are comments from seven students at Olivet College on using DigiMelt: The DigiMelt was way better than the Fisher-Johns. I really liked the digital screen, and how you could set it to rise at a certain degree per minute. The automatic shake feature was cool too. I would much rather use the DigiMelt. I think it would be much easier and more efficient. I also think it would be a lot more accurate. The DigiMelt is awesome! It was so simple to use. The step by step instructions were so simple. I loved the tube tapper, it was so much easier than having to tap it on the counter. It was very easy to see the substance in the tube, which really helped when I was trying to see what was going on. In the other melting apparatus it was very hard to tell when it was fully melted. With this there was no question, you could see it plain as day. I love that you can be watching what is going on and just push the button to record the temp when you see something happening, and when its fully melted. I really hope that we get to keep it because it makes things so much easier and accurate. The DigiMelt is a more resourceful piece of lab equipment then the Fisher-Johns. First, the DigiMelt is completely digital reading. This means you don't have to look at a thermometer and see what temp you are at. Secondly, The DigiMelt can take up to three readings at a time. Also you can save the temp when the compound starts to melt and when the compound is completely melted. Next, it is much easier to see your compound melt. With the Fisher-Johns you had to look directly down at it. When you would look directly down at it you could really feel the heat and get a smell of the fumes. Lastly, It is much easier to clean up the DigiMelt, you just throw away the capillary instead of messing with the two plates in the Fisher-Johns. The DigiMelt hands down beats the Fisher-Johns in any competition. The DigiMelt was a great alternative to the 'old-school' Fisher-Johns melting apparatus. I found the DigiMelt to be much more accurate because not only did it measure temperature to the nearest tenth, but it also had a much more accurate reading as the temperature accurately correlated with the environment of the substance. I found that when the Fisher-John's apparatus heated too quickly that the thermometer would not keep up with surface temperature or vice versa. Also, I really liked how I could store the data once I observed melting activity. It made it very handy rather than looking back-and-forth at the thermometer and the compound. All-in-all, the DigiMelt is an amazing device. It allows me
