1. Application
Flame photometers are used for quantitative determination of alkali and alkaline earth metals, especially:
- 1. Clinical analysis (Na⁺, K⁺ in blood/serum)
- 2. Water quality testing (sodium, potassium, calcium)
- 3. Agricultural analysis (soil nutrients, fertilizers)
- 4. Food & beverage testing
- 5. Pharmaceutical quality control
- 6. Chemical laboratories
Common elements analyzed: Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Lithium (Li)
2. Compliance Standard
Typically complies with:
- GLP (Good Laboratory Practice)
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice)
- ISO 9001 / CE certification
- Pharmacopoeia standards (USP / IP / BP)
- Laboratory safety standards (IEC)
3. Product Description
A microprocessor-based flame photometer designed for elemental analysis:
- Available in single-channel or dual-channel configuration
- Uses separate optical filters for different elements
- Measures emission intensity of elements in flame
- Provides low ppm level detection with high precision
- Requires very small sample volume
- Simple operation with fast response
Dual-channel models allow simultaneous measurement of two elements, improving efficiency.
