Microprocessor Flame Photometer
Product Code : JA-MFP-2226
The Microprocessor Flame Photometer (SKU JA-MFP-2226) determines sodium, potassium, calcium and lithium by flame emission, giving four measurements from a single aspiration. This microprocessor flame photometer calibrates with up to five standards using curve fitting, stores setups, curves and sample data, and cuts off the gas automatically if the flame or power fails. It is supplied by JaincoLab.
Specifications
Each element reads 0 to 100 ppm (up to 250 meq/l at 1:100 dilution) at 0.1 ppm/meq resolution, with general sensitivity of 0.5 ppm for Na, K and Li and 15 ppm for Ca, and reproducibility better than 1% CV over 20 consecutive samples.

Applications of the microprocessor flame photometer
Flame emission gives quick, direct readings of the alkali and alkaline-earth metals, and multi-point calibration keeps results linear across the working range.
- Sodium and potassium determination in soil testing laboratories
- Na, K, Ca and Li estimation in water and fertiliser analysis
- Instrumental analysis practicals in B.Sc, M.Sc and B.Pharm laboratories
- Teaching and training in emission-based elemental analysis
