Salt content of foods is receiving increasing attention and there
is now a move towards a significant reduction in dietary salt. Monitoring sodium concentrations in food
ingredients and final product is a universal requirement. The most sensitive
and robust technique has always been flame photometry. Sherwood Scientific has
introduced two new products, which allows the busy analyst to automate the
measurement and collection of data on the Model 410 Flame photometer. A new
Digital Interface and 410 BlueNotes Software can be retrofitted to existing
Model 410s already carrying out this analysis. Key innovations allow addition
of the Model 860 Autosampler and correction for the drift associated with
single channel measurements.
In addition, the Model 926 Chloride Analyser has long been
recognised by independent studies as an accurate and precise instrument for
measuring salt. The latest version, featuring a redesigned PCB, sealed
face-plate and a new backlit LCD display, offers the same usability and high
performance specification. Sherwood's Model 926 Chloride Analyser is widely
chosen for its ability to deliver highly accurate results without the need to
make up the fresh reagents required by traditional silver nitrate methods for
chloride determination.
