The Flame Photometer is a device used in inorganic
chemical analysis to determine the concentration of certain metal ions, among them sodium, potassium, lithium, Barium and calcium.
In principle, it is a
controlled flame test with the intensity of the flame colour quantified by photoelectric circuitry.
The instrument is fitted with automatic flame failure
detection
for user safety, making it ideal for use in
laboratory, industrial sites and educational applications.
