The Value of STAT Testing

Processing and patient result delays associated with sending out samples for osmolality testing may lose your organization time and money. STAT osmolality testing is valuable for a variety of use cases including but not limited to:

  • Hyponatremia and similar electrolyte disorders
  • Alcohol and toxin ingestion
  • Metabolic acidosis
  • Monitoring of osmotically active drug therapies

STAT osmolality testing is a simple and cost-effective method to:

  • Expedite patient treatment
  • Mitigate patient specimen stability concerns
  • Enable time-sensitive patient monitoring
  • Ensure full insurance reimbursement

Advanced Instruments products use the gold-standard freezing point depression method to ensure accurate results for confident reporting. We offer a variety of clinical osmometers to meet your sample throughput and automation needs and ensure you are ready for the quick turnaround needed for high-value STAT testing. Better for the patient; better for you.
