The BWB AFHS

The next generation of automation

Simple, robust & reliable Automated Fluid Handling System that works seamlessly with BWB’s range of Flame Photometers.

BWB customers rely on our instrumentation that may run throughout the day processing tens or even hundreds of samples. Until now this operation has been a manual process and requires an operator present to introduce each sample. Many organisations are striving for greater efficiency and automation of their laboratory processes and in response BWB have a solution. The new Automatic Fluid Handling System (AFHS), which for the first time offers fast, reliable and effective automation
of the flame photometry process.

New “Auto Read” Technology is the foundation for automation
The goal of an automated system is to perform tasks accurately, reliably and autonomously without the need for human intervention. By clever software/firmware handling of the input from our multiple channel detectors, stability of readings are analytically determined and no longer a subjective user decision.

Printer
This ultra reliable thermal printer sits atop the main flame photometer enclosure for footprint reduction in valuable lab space. The printer is supplied with print stock derived from recycled paper, has a 10 year shelf life and comes with soy based ink as standard.

The dimensions of the unit were also designed to offer compatibility with standard calculator print paper available globally from any high street.

Autosampler
The BWB auto sampler is available as an optional extra for all the latest models of the BWB flame photometer.

Autodiluter
BWB has introduced an operator configurable 1:6 to 1:100 auto-diluter for the latest models of the BWB flame photometer.

Our metal casework provides a sturdy portable instrument and enables future recycling opportunities. ROHS compliant components and materials are used wherever possible.

The BWB Carbon Footprint is exceptionally low, in keeping with corporate objectives of being a responsible manufacturer.

Unlike other manufacturers who charge extra for vital accessories, BWB include everything required to use the product straight out of the box. Just add Gas!! (Propane, LPG or butane).

We also provide as standard, data sharing via USB from the BWB XP to your PC. This ties the output of the BWB Flame Emission Spectrometer (FES) to the Internet or your company intranet systems and facilitates Distributed Control which is vital for Multi-National companies, Universities and various Governmental agencies.

The BWB XP is the greatest advance in flame photometry for 30 years!
