Disadvantages of FlamePhotometer
•Element Detection Limit: Flame photometry is used to detect
elements that emit light at a wavelength in the range of visible and
near moving into ultraviolet light. Element Detection Limit
Sodalite only coexists with SO and Sodium, potassium, calcium
and lithium is better than any other method yet developed for
detecting the contentf these common or alkali metals.
•Interference issues: Going against the grain on occasion, such as
with urine quantification of sodium and potassium, problems like
matrix effects and spectral interferences can arise from complex
materials.
•Substances that interfere with accurate results: A sample
consisting of other substances can affect the accuracy of results.
That is why the video signal of emission does not come to a
standstill.
23.
•Calibration requirements: Toobtain accurate results, it is
important to calibrate often and use standard solutions.
Calibration Standards must be prepared as per the GLP.
•Destructive analysis: In the analysis process, the sample is
consumed which means that when using this technique with
small or precious samples is fatal rather than beneficial.
•The method is destructive. Sample preservation is not its strong
point.
•Single-element focus: While some flame photometers can
analyze multiple elements, they are not nearly as effective as
more advanced techniques like ICP spectroscopy at
simultaneous multi-element analysis. Single element detection is
what it does best, although part-by calculation can of course be
applied to multiple element samples.
