Possibility of simultaneous measurement of several elements on attention deserves as well as the easiness of realization of calibration. Very good the installation the diagnostic signalizer is the solution and show of their on main desk top. This function on control of state of apparatus and safe work. It is this modern photometer about large possibilities, the exactitude of measurements assures near straight line service Nguyen Thi Thanh Ha, Manager of Fertilizer and Soil Laboratory, Institute of Agricultural Science for Southern Vietnam After 5 years in operation, the Flame Photometer shows us many advantages. We are also very satisfied with the professional working way of the Customer-care Department of BWB Dealer in Vietnam. They are really active in addressing all the issues relating to BWB product. Richard Griffiths Process Technology, Fujifilm Imaging Colorants Ltd, United Kingdom We are very happy so far with the purchase of our BWB-XP flame photometer. We are using the unit for a colours application and had upgraded from a older Sherwood model. I carry out 5 point calibrations on each ion and these calibrations appear to hold from first thing in the morning until the end of the day. The BWB-XP produces accurate values and the ability to measure 5 elements simultaneously is less time consuming than the older instrument and has, on occasion, flagged up the presence of ions which we were not expecting to see and may not have been looking for on the older instrument. Sarah Woolls - Colchester Hospital - United Kingdom The first advance in flame photometry in this century is proving a valuable asset for Colchester Hospital. Leeds based Spectronic Camspec have supplied the hospital with a BWB Flame Photometer which has individual detectors for Na, K, Li, Ca and Ba and can simultaneously detect and display all five elements with two point or multipoint calibration. “The BWB Flame Photometer will be used to measure sodium and potassium levels in Total Parenteral Nutrition bags prepared in our hospital Pharmacy sterile manufacturing unit for use within the hospital. It will also be used for determining sodium and potassium levels in pharmaceutical products manufactured in our hospital Pharmacy non-sterile manufacturing unit which are prepared under our MHRA Manufacturing Licence. This new equipment also ensures that we are compliant with the Good Laboratory Practice requirements of our licence. Mick Howard - Production Coordinator - R-MC Power Recover LTD United Kingdom We purchased the BWB-XP Flame Photometer model to replace our Perkins Elmer Gas analyser, this had served us well for the last 15 years.What attracted us to the BWB-XP was the apparent ease of operation, the key pad menu makes the unit both easy to set up and quick to calibrate.The unit was removed from the packaging, set up, calibrated and was producing acceptable results within a couple of hours! “Just add gas”.Results are very consistent as long as good lab practice is followed regarding preparation and handling of the calibration standards.The report publishing aspect of the software via PDF is excellent! Simple clear graph and set of results with even the capability of adding your own company logo.Direct customer support from BWB has been FIRST CLASS, a real happy to help/resolve any matters approach, as has the supply of the service items etc. Murdoch Macaskill - Daintree Scientific - Australia My company has been supplying instruments to Australian customers for 33 years , and our experience with flame photometry goes back to the old E.E.L.(uk) units. The BWB instrument is the most advanced I have seen. Even inexperienced customers have no trouble installing the instrument without supervision , by simply following the clear and user friendly instruction manual. I have found BWB's application and technical support "second to none". Gregory Bathfield - Electrical & Control Specialists Ltd - Thailand The BWB Sugar Flame Photometer is working very well. The client had a leak in one of his evaporators a few weeks ago and the flame photometer detected it. For the sugar industry, this equipment is used to measure K which is directly related to sugar. The photometer is thus used to detect sugar in condensate return to the boiler. The BWB photometer is more user friendly and easier to use than others we came across. It is really good value for money. Nguyen Nhung - MEGATECH Technology & Equipment JSC - Vietnam I would lke to inform you that the customer can work with their BWB-1 again already and they are very, very happy. Thank you so much for the kind support. Richard J Roman - PhD Professor and Chair Department of Pharmacology University of Mississippi Medical Center It works very well. Stable calibration, Not fussy with the need for cleaning and recalibration. Does Na, K and Li simultaneously which is an advantage. Most students can learn to use it well within one day. Typically we dilute our urine samples 1:500. Only wish that it had a continuous flow dilutor attachment.

Bread contributes about one-sixth of our daily salt intake. Salt is used to improve flavor and texture. The amount of sodium in bread can differ significantly, depending upon brand and type of grain used, ranging from 592mg/100g to 748mg/100g. The level of sodium in bread is primarily due to the amount of salt added to the dough during manufacture. The amount of potassium is determined by the type of flour and the washing and bleaching operations during cereal processing. Bread does not make a significant contribution to maximum daily requirements for potassium. Method followed for this analysis is AOAC Official Method 990.23 (refer to BWB Method number 20). Procedure All solutions are prepared using deionized distilled water. A sample and pre-dried at 60ºC for 24 hours. The dried sample is then ground and homogenized in a suitable grinder. The test portion and crucible is weighed and dry ashed in an open inert vessel such as a crucible, then reweighed after ashing. Transfer the dried test sample to an airtight container of capacity about twice test portion size. Close container and mix sample thoroughly by shaking and inverting. Weigh sample to nearest 1mg, add a 1.25g portion of the sample into 50ml polypropylene beaker. Dissolve sample into approximately 20ml warm water while mixing. Quantitatively transfer contents to a volumetric flask and made up to volume. Alternatively a steam bath can be used to aid dissolution. Stock solutions are then made up of potassium and sodium; it is recommended that a single point calibration is carried out prior to examination to determine a rough estimated range in which the sample will fall. Once th is expected sample concentration is determined, at minimum 5 standard solutions should be produced for calibration of the instrument. The after calibration the sample can then be aspirated into the flame photometer, to decrease the likelihood of random errors, multiple samples should be aspirated. To obtain the concentration of sodium and potassium in the sample, it should be noted that a dilution step has been performed. The result of this experimental procedure is a value of concentration when dry ashed sample is diluted in 20ml water. Preparation of Standard Graph Set the flame photometer in accordance to MultiPoint/Single Ion Calibration found on page 24 of the BWB Technologies Installation and Operation Manual, to measure potassium emission. Nebulize the working standard solutions and adjust the controls until steady zero and maximum readings are obtained. Nebulize the intermediate working standard solutions and construct a graph relating raw emission data (known as RAW in BWB the flame photometer) to concentration of all the standard solutions.
