Flame Photometer

A.KRÜSS flame photometer for the analysis of alkali and alkaline earth elements

Economical model for the laboratory with very high precision.
Measurement range FP8400:
Na: 0.01-4500ppm; 0.0004-200mmol/l;
K: 0.01-4500ppm; 0.0003-110mmol/l;
Li: 0.01-4500ppm; 0.0014-600mmol/l;
Ca: 0.50-4500ppm; 0.0125-110mmol/l

Discription

The A.KRÜSS flame photometers are used to determine the concentration of alkali and alkaline earth elements in aqueous solutions. The devices are a simple and particularly cost-effective alternative to analysis techniques such as ICP or AAS.

Flame photometers are particularly suitable for the quantitative determination of alkali metals such as sodium (Na), potassium (K) and lithium (Li) and alkaline earth metals such as calcium (Ca). These elements are measured simultaneously in a single work step.

Consistent modernization of the flame photometers and a special focus on safety concepts open up completely new fields of application for many cost-sensitive customer groups – from automated incoming goods inspection to the qualification of FFP masks in accordance with DIN 149.
Low operating costs are one of the main strengths of AES, and the technology of the FP8000 series also scores with high accuracy.
