Osmometers Osmometers can be used to measure the osmolality
of a sample. The freezing point depression method is the most commonly
used method in laboratories around the world.
Because this technology is very sensitive and accurate, users find that
it provides a rapid means of determining sample osmolality. Clinicians
can make more timely diagnoses and institute more appropriate patient
care, which can translate to decreased health care costs. Freezing point
depression osmometry is capable of measuring all osmotically active solutes,
including volatile substances, making it the most sensitive and accurate
technology available.
