Soil Plant General Analyzer― To more simply, rapidly and effectively
manage the soil & plant analysis―

What is※1 ?

Many of soil testing laboratories these days face increasing demands from the farmers for rapid feedback ofsoil test result.
Our company has been focused to provide the optimum equipment for simplified nutrient extraction andcolorimetry method with preliminary installed calibration curves.
SFP series 1˜3 was developped under SPAD project ※2 from 1981. Now we launch 4th generation, SFP-4i,
which realized to increase target elements for soil, and it also optionally inlcudes new category - potting soil, inaddition to conventional testing categories. Safety function is drastically improved, too.
We believe that SFP-4i, which makes clear disinction from general laboratory equipment, will be intelligently,

SPECTRO

integrally, improvingly and internationally good help to the soil and plant laboratories.

※1 SFP stands for Spectro-Flame-Photometer. It is a combination of spectrophotometer and flame photometer.
※2 SPAD R is an abbrebiation for Soil＆Plant Analyzer Development Project under Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Japan.

History of SFP series

FLAME

SFP series is used in research laboratories, agricultural extension centers, city / town halls, universities, private enterprise,
agricultural cooperatives, compost centers, etc. In latest years, it is exported to Asian countries, too.
