We are second year brewing students, completing the flame photometry laboratory was a valuable opportunity to apply the theoretical knowledge we had learned in class to a practical experiment.
The aim of the experiment was to use flame photometry to determine the concentration of metal ions in a sample by measuring the intensity of light emitted when the sample was introduced into a flame. Although the procedure initially seemed challenging, particularly when it came to preparing accurate standard solutions, operating the flame photometer, and ensuring reliable readings, we worked together to overcome these difficulties.
Throughout the experiment, we demonstrated good teamwork, communication, and perseverance. We carefully followed the experimental procedure, supported one another when problems arose, and repeated measurements when necessary to improve the reliability of our results. Despite some challenges, we remained focused and motivated until we successfully completed the experiment. Overall, the lab helped us develop greater confidence in our practical laboratory skills and showed us the importance of accuracy, patience, and teamwork when carrying out scientific experiments.
