FLAME PHOTOMETER
Multi-parameter flame photometer Heavy Metal Detection/Flame photometer with K, Na, Li, Ca, Ba
Flame photometry is the simplest of analytical techniques based on atomic spectroscopy. In this case, the sample containing metallic cations is inserted into a flame and analyzed for the amount of radiation emitted by the excited atomic or ionic species. The elements, upon receiving energy from a flame, generate excited species that, upon returning to the ground state, release part of the energy received in the form of radiation, at characteristic wavelengths for each chemical element. The flame photometer is the equipment used to perform different types of laboratory analyses. The product is always used on a large scale and, therefore, is essential for several sectors.
Despite the simplicity of the technique, several important concepts are involved in the development of experiments using flame photometry, from the principles of spectroscopy to statistics in data treatment, including sample preparation and elimination of interference. The manipulation of chemical elements requires a series of equipment suitable for this function, in order to promote the precise results expected and the safety of the operators, thus, in many cases the use of the flame photometer is applicable.
The flame photometer is equipment to analyze the proper dosage of some specific reagents contained in samples, Sodium (Na) and Potassium (K), and it can also include Calcium (Ca) and Lithium (Li). This observation occurs through the colors that each chemical element is capable of emitting when in contact with a non-luminous flame. Flame photometer for applications in food, cellulose, whey, beverages, soil, ore, human saliva, vinasse, and fuels.

FLAME PHOTOMETER MODELS:
Yatherm Scientific provides some flame photometer models, each with the proper specifications. However, just as there are different points, in some of them there are also some in common. Flame photometer can be done at up to five selectable points and you can store the read data. In addition, it allows the linearization of the working curve and simultaneous readings of Na, K, Ca, Li, and Ba. Yatherm Scientific’s flame photometer has some details in common, such as:
- Stability indicator;
- Automatically calibrated parameters;
- Non-volatile memory system: prevents programming from being lost when the device is switched off;
- The option of the flame to be turned off in the moment of power failure;
- Automatic purge in the air filter;
- Manometer (analog pressure indicator);
- Dismountable mixing system for easy maintenance and;
- The automatic ignition system for ignition.
Standard Working conditions
- The flame photometer should be placed in a ventilated room on a stable table
- Power Supply 220v ±10% Frequency 50/60 hz
