The thermal energy of the flame excites the atoms of the element, causing them to jump to a higher energy state.
The instrument operates on the principle of : Systronics Flame Photometer 128 Manual
A liquid sample is drawn into a nebulizer and sprayed as a fine mist into a flame. The thermal energy of the flame excites the
As these atoms return to their ground state, they emit light at characteristic wavelengths (e.g., Sodium at 589 nm, Potassium at 766 nm). Technical Specifications
The is a micro-controller based analytical instrument designed for the simultaneous estimation of alkali and alkaline earth metals—specifically Sodium (Na) , Potassium (K) , Lithium (Li) , and Calcium (Ca) —in a single aspiration. It is widely used in clinical, agricultural, and industrial laboratories for elemental analysis. Core Principle of Operation
The intensity of this emitted light, which is proportional to the concentration of the element in the sample, is detected by a photodiode and processed by the micro-controller. Technical Specifications
