Features & Compatibility

Fast, Accurate Elemental Analysis – Discover the Power of the Flame Photometer

Flame Photometer Kruss FP8400 is a crucial tool for rapid and precise determination of alkali and alkaline earth metal concentrations in various samples. From clinical labs to agricultural testing, this compact yet powerful instrument delivers reliable results for elements like sodium, potassium, calcium, and lithium. When it comes to measuring metal ions quickly and cost-effectively, a flame photometer is the lab essential you can trust.

What is a Flame Photometer?

A flame photometer (or flame atomic emission spectrometer) is an analytical instrument used to detect and measure the concentration of specific metal ions in liquid samples. It works by introducing the sample into a controlled flame, which excites the metal atoms. As these atoms return to their ground state, they emit light at characteristic wavelengths that the instrument detects and quantifies.

Key Elements Measured by Flame Photometry

Sodium (Na⁺)
Potassium (K⁺)
Calcium (Ca²⁺)
Lithium (Li⁺)
Barium (Ba²⁺) (in some advanced models)

Benefits of Using a Flame Photometer

✅ Fast and accurate elemental analysis
✅ Simple operation and quick calibration
✅ Highly cost-effective for routine testing
✅ Ideal for clinical, agricultural, and industrial applications
✅ Compact design suitable for small labs or mobile setups
