The Master Science Flame Photometer is a series of six instruments for determining alkali and alkaline-earth metals by flame emission. Depending on the model, it measures two to five elements from potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium and barium.
Operation is through a 7-inch colour touch screen with push-button ignition. The burner runs on LPG with air from the supplied compressor, flame size can be pre-selected, and a protection device acts if the flame goes out.

Common Problems and How This Photometer Helps
How the Master Science Flame Photometer eases flame emission analysis:
- Difficult manual ignition: push-button start.
- Gas flowing after the flame dies: flameout protection.
- Hand-drawn calibration curves: stored curves with automatic correlation coefficient.
- Paying for elements never measured: six models from two to five elements.
