Flame photometer

Jenway is the world leader in Flame Photometer production, with our simple, easy-to-use models found in many thousands of laboratories all round the globe. This interference free method of measuring Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Lithium (Li) and Barium (Ba) is common in the food processing and feed industries, for agricultural, dairy and wine analysis, in chemical and petrochemical processing, in the drinks industry, in environmental and water analysis, cement, mineral and ore processing and many more… A key area of application is in the clinical laboratory where flame photometers have traditionally been used for the measurement of electrolytes in serum, plasma, urine and other body fluids.

The Models PFP7 and PFP7/C are low temperature, single channel flame photometers designed for the routine determinations of Na & K (Ca, Ba and Li optional). With in-built automatic flame failure detection for user safety these products can be used with Propane, butane, LPG or natural gas, an optional compressor manufacturer is also available where a clean air supply is not available.

The Model PFP7/C is specifically designed for use in clinical applications. The in-built lineariser circuitry enables readings of both Na and K at the normal clinical serum concentrations to be displayed directly in mmol/l. Serum samples must be diluted prior to presentation to the flame photometer. The Series 7 diluter is available to enable this to be carried out efficiently and accurately.
