How to choose a flame photometer

Aug 15,2022

The flame photometer is commonly used in laboratories for quantitative analysis of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals. This is an analytical instrument manufactured by flame spectroscopic analysis method, with precise measurement, flexible use and high reliability. When comparing various flame photometers, we can make a choice based on parameters, operability, and our own test needs and budget.

1. Appearance and safety performance

The laboratory usually has many different analytical instruments with limited space,so a laboratory flame photometer with a small footprint and low noise is a better choice. Some flame photometers with beautiful appearance also have a built-in silent air compressor, and can perform flameout detection and automatic shutdown.

2. Parameters

When selecting instruments and equipment for laboratories, we mainly pay attention to some unalterable indicators. For digital flame photometer, the following parameters should be considered:

(1) Measurement range: The wider the measurement range, the better.

(2) Flame stability: Only a flame with high stability can ensure the sensitivity and accuracy of the measurement.

(3) Filter quality: High quality filter can reduce the interference of coexisting substances.

(4) Drift amount: For a stable flame photometer, it is necessary to ensure that the drift amount per 30 minutes is as small as possible.

3. Convenient operation

Besides unalterable parameters, the convenient operation of high performance flame photometer also affects the user experience. In addition to the simple and easy-to-understand operation interface and screen display, some performances related to convenient operation also need to be considered, including reading method, detection type, calibration function, report output, etc.
