Product Description
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 the 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, 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 BWB Flash is available in 7 different models with a variety of different detection capabilities. This table details each of the models:
Model Ions Detected
FL-C Ca
FL-K K
FL-L Li
FL-N Na
FL-2 Na & K
FL-3 Na, K & Li
FL-4 Na, K, LI & Ca
Sustainability
The 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 they have succeeded in lowering the gas consumption rate by 13% while also lowering the electricity consumption (kWh) by 26% compared to previous model generations.
Extras
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). Data sharing via USB from the BWB Flash to your PC is included 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.
