The Sherwood Classic Model 410 Flame photometer directly measures Alkali and Alkaline Earth metals Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Calcium (Ca) by means of a low temperature flame using propane, butane or Natural gas.
Additional filters for Caesium (Cs), Rubidium (Rb) and Strontium (Sr) and Lithium (Li) are available. Please contact our sales office for pricing information.
Available in three formats:
Classic – Fitted with Na, K and Ca filters
Industrial – Fitted with Na, K and Li filters and a digital interface/linearisation module
Clinical – Fitted with Na, K and Li filters and a digital interface/linearisation module
Classic Model 410 may be upgraded by the addition of the digital interface module which is designed to fit all Model 410 instruments – even those made by Corning 25 years ago
System Requirements:
A source of clean dry pulse-free compressed air at a pressure of 12-15 psi is essential, Sherwood recommends the Model 851 Compressor. These Flame Photometers will run on Butane, Propane, a mixture of the two, or Natural gas. A primary regulator at the gas source is required. The secondary regulator is built-in to the Flame Photometer.
This equipment will only operate with the correct type of air compressor and gas regulator, as specified
Technical Specification:
Sensitivity: To display minimum of 100 units, Na <0.5 ppm, K <0.5 ppm, Li* 5 ppm, Ca 5 ppm, Ba* 200 ppm.
Specificity: For Na, K, Li interference is less than 0.5% of the concentration of Na, K, Li*, Ca or Ba*, equal to the concentration under analysis.
Linearity: Better than 2% mid-range with Na=3ppm, K=3ppm, or Li*=5ppm.
Drift: (To be measured after 30 mins warm up): Zero Drift better than 2% per hour when calibrated with Na=10ppm.
Reproducibility: < 1 % CV from the same Bulk sample for 20 determinations at Na and K=10ppm.
Limit of Detection: <20 ppb Na and K.
Time to Stability: Aspirate for 20 sec.
Aspiration Rate: Variable 2-6 ml/min.
*These filters are not supplied with the unit and need to be purchased separately.
