Flame photometry is the preferred technique for detecting and reporting inorganic metals from the alkali earth and alkali rare earth groups, most often including sodium, calcium, potassium, lithium, and barium. These elements lend themselves to this sort of analysis because of the excitability of their ions in a controlled flame causing them to produce highly accurate spectra (aka characteristic wavelengths) which identifies the substance, and quantifies it, too. The method has both...

The Role of Standard Solutions: Making your Flame Photometer Accurate
Using four basic components, a flame; nebuliser and mixing chamber; selective filters; and photo detectors, our Flame Photometers simultaneously detect and display five ions - K, Na, Li, Ca, and Ba, accurately determining the concentration of each within a given substance by measuring the intensity of light emitted when each element is exposed to a flame. The need to monitor levels of certain ingredients in food for health reasons means that flame photometers are commonly used within the food...
