Buck Scientific PFP-7C Clinical Flame Photometer
Introduction
The Buck Scientific PFP-7C Clinical Flame Photometer is designed specifically for clinical laboratory applications. Based on the PFP-7 flame photometer platform, the PFP-7C includes built-in lineariser circuitry that allows sodium and potassium readings at normal clinical serum concentrations to be displayed directly in mmol. It is suitable for routine clinical determination of sodium and potassium, while also supporting additional element measurements such as lithium, calcium, and barium with appropriate filters.
Key Features
- Designed specifically for clinical sodium and potassium analysis
- Built-in lineariser circuitry for direct mmol readings
- Analytical ranges for Na and K at normal clinical serum concentrations
- Push-button ignition and electronic flame failure detection
- Filter wheel for fast switching between analytical parameters
- Compatible with propane, butane, natural gas, or LPG fuel supplies
