INTENDED USE |
|
FreezePoint is designed for routine measurements in the medical field and is also suitable for measurements in research and industry to determine the total osmolality of aqueous solutions. The instrument only requires 15 µl sample volumes offering rapid measurement cycles that are completed in a very short time. |
|
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE |
|
The total osmolality of aqueous solutions is determined by comparative measurements of the freezing points of pure water and of solutions. Whereas water has a freezing point of 0°C, a solution with saline concentration of 1 Osmol/kg has a freezing point of -1.858°C |
