BWB’s simple, robust, and reliable Automated Fluid Handling System (AFHS) pairs seamlessly with the BIO flame photometer to transform sample processing. Traditionally, running tens or even hundreds of samples required manual operation with an operator present for each introduction. To meet the growing demand for efficiency and automation in laboratories, BWB developed the AFHS, providing fast, reliable, and effective automation of the flame photometry process. At the core of this system is the new “Auto Read” technology, which ensures tasks are performed accurately and autonomously. By intelligently processing input from multiple channel detectors, reading stability is analytically determined, removing subjective decisions from the user.

The AFHS also includes an ultra-reliable thermal printer positioned atop the flame photometer to save valuable lab space. This printer uses recycled paper with soy-based ink, has a 10-year shelf life, and is compatible with standard calculator print paper available globally. Optional components include the BWB autosampler, available for all current BIO flame photometer models, and an operator-configurable autodiluter, capable of performing dilutions from 1:6 to 1:100. Together, these features provide a fully automated, efficient, and environmentally conscious solution for modern laboratory workflows.
