Automated process for operation with high sample throughput
The flame photometer FP8700 is the laboratory version supplemented by a rotation sampler, diluter, and mixer. Ideal for applications with high sample volumes and high concentrations requiring dilution. Various safety mechanisms ensure particularly high operational safety.Especially control laboratories and testing offices benefit from this independent operation. With the models of the FP8000 series, A.KRÜSS Optronic presents to this day unique measuring devices for the simultaneous measurement of the elements Na, K, Ca and Li. Five measuring channels are available for this, which can be individually configured. Thanks to proven measuring methods and modern device electronics, our flame photometers achieve high-precision and reproducible measurement results and are a simple and particularly cost-effective alternative to analysis techniques such as ICP or AAS.
