Bibby has introduced two Jenway flame photometers that offer accurate determination of up to five elements, as well as automatic flame failure detection.
The Jenway PFP7 and PFP7/C are low-temperature, single-channel flame photometers, designed for routine determinations of sodium, potassium, calcium, barium and lithium.
The industrial model PFP7 is supplied with filters for all five elements; the PFP7/C for clinical use measures Na, K and Li.
Both versions feature electronic ignition, fine- and coarse-sensitivity controls, and automatic flame failure detection to ensure user safety at all times.
Fuel options are propane, butane, natural gas or LPG.
Designed for clinical applications, the PFP7/C has inbuilt lineariser circuitry for readings of Na and K, from serum samples diluted 1:200 or 1:100, to be displayed directly in mmol/litre.
Accurate dilutions can be efficiently prepared using the Jenway Series 7 diluter.
Flame photometry provides a simple method of analysis and concentration determination of elements that cannot easily be measured using any other technique.
Jenway application notes for users of these flame photometers cover a wide range of industrial sectors, from food and drink to cement, minerals and glass, as well as agricultural, biological and clinical applications.
