Flame photometry for clinical and biological samples
Flame photometry is the classic reference technique for sodium, potassium and lithium in body fluids — without the membrane drift, lipemic-sample errors and electrode costs of ion-selective analysers. The BWB BIO brings it up to date with user log-in, LIMS connection and full validation.

FAQ
Common questions
Flame photometer or ion-selective electrode?
ISE analysers are fast but rely on membranes that drift and need replacing, and lipemic or protein-rich samples can cause errors. Flame photometry measures the element itself, with stable calibrations and low running costs — which is why many labs keep it as their reference method for Na, K and Li.
Can the BIO measure lithium for therapy monitoring?
Yes. Li is measured together with Na and K; the BIO AV is optimised for Na, K and Li from a single dilution.
How is data integrity handled?
The BIO range offers Access Control Technology — individual user accounts with passwords and three access levels — plus LIMS integration and PDF/CSV reports from the FP-PC software.
