BWB Flash Flame Photometer

The newest feature to flame photometry

Finally, a flame photometer specific to your needs. The first simultaneous flame photometer with built in compressor and configurable element analysis to your requirements.

​

The BWB Flash is the first and only fully configurable up to four channel flame photometer that detects and displays all calibrated ions at the same time.

​

The BWB Flash was created by combining the award-winning features of our XP model with new, innovative, and cutting-edge technology to provide unrivalled levels of accuracy, usability, and reliability while significantly reducing analysis time. When a different measurement is required, our customers do not need to waste valuable time changing filters and re-calibrating, as is a common requirement in all other Flame Photometer designs from 1951 to the present. 

​

The Flash looks exceptionally modern, with clean lines and contemporary bright colour schemes that will fit into any laboratory. The instrument has a large 5” touch screen display that can be easily viewed from any angle and operated with most laboratory disposable gloves. Our metal casework creates a sturdy portable instrument with nearly limitless future recycling possibilities. Of course, ROHS-compliant components and materials are used throughout.

The BWB Carbon Footprint is exceptionally low, in keeping with the company’s goals of being a responsible manufacturer, and we’ve succeeded in lowering the gas consumption rate by 13% while also lowering the electricity consumption (kWh) by 26% compared to previous model generations.

​

Unlike other manufacturers who charge extra for essential accessories, BWB includes everything needed to use the product right away. Simply add Gas!! (Propane, LPG, or butane) We also include data sharing via USB from the BWB Flash to your PC as standard. This connects the BWB Flame Emission Spectrometer (FES) output to the Internet or your company intranet systems, allowing for Distributed Control, which is critical for multinational corporations, universities, and government agencies.

​

BWB continues to improve our flame photometric systems in order to provide the market with unrivalled quality!
