Beckman introduced the KLiNa Flame System, a flame photometer with attached diluter and printer, in 1971. The company first marketed a chloride/CO2 analyzer in 1975.

Flame photometers determine the presence and concentration of some metal ions in a substance by exposing the substance to a flame and reading any changes in the color of the flame.

The Cl/CO2 Analyzer simultaneously measures chloride and carbon dioxide. It is used in clinical settings to analyze serum, spinal fluid, and sweat.
