FAQ's of Flame Photometer 128:
Q: How does the Flame Photometer 128 operate for element detection?
A: The Flame Photometer 128 utilizes a flame-based process where your liquid sample is aspirated into a flame, inducing emission of characteristic wavelengths for sodium, potassium, lithium, and calcium. The device's integrated digital controls and automatic gas ignition ensure straightforward, repeatable operation.
Q: What types of samples can be analyzed with the Flame Photometer 128?
A: This photometer is ideal for analyzing aqueous solutions containing sodium, potassium, lithium, or calcium. Its application spans clinical, pharmaceutical, environmental, agricultural, and food laboratories requiring precise elemental analysis.
Q: When should I perform calibration, and is it included in the instrument?
A: Calibration should be performed before each measurement session to maintain accuracy. The Flame Photometer 128 offers automated calibration with standard solutions (100 ml each of Na, K, Ca, Li) included in the accessories, simplifying the setup process.
Q: Where should the Flame Photometer 128 be installed for optimal use?
A: Install the unit on a stable laboratory bench in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat sources. Ensure the gas supply (LPG or propane) is within the specified 5-10 psi pressure range to achieve safe and consistent flame conditions.
Q: What is the process for sample aspiration and measurement?
A: The liquid sample is aspirated at a rate of 2-6 ml/min into the stainless steel nebulizer, atomized, and directed into the flame. Emitted light is filtered and detected, with results displayed digitally for direct readout for each element.
Q: How do the built-in controls and display benefit daily use?
A: Front-panel zero and slope adjustments, filter selection, and an intuitive digital LED display enable rapid switching between measured parameters. This facilitates real-time monitoring and quick results with minimal training required.
Q: What regular maintenance does the Flame Photometer 128 require?
A: Routine maintenance includes cleaning the burner and nebulizer (borosilicate glass and stainless steel components), verifying air and dust filters, and ensuring proper gas connections. Regularly consult the operation manual for detailed guidance.
