Freeing Up Tech Time Advances in Osmolality Testing

Globally, small and large clinical laboratories alike are facing unprecedented staffing challenges. Automation of laboratory tests can help take the load off of lab staff. One test that can easily be automated is measured osmolality, a high value, low-cost screening tool. OBJECTIVES 1. Understand the utility of osmolality testing for monitoring osmotically active drug therapies and narrowing the differential diagnosis of electrolyte disorders, ingestions with various alcohols, and metabolic acidosis. 2. Learn how automated osmolality testing can help your laboratory free up tech time, improve result turnaround times, reduce errors, and ensure compliance amidst unprecedented staffing challenges. 3. View a demonstration of the new OsmoPRO® MAX Automated Osmometer, designed to make automation accessible to labs of all sizes.
