Osmometers Semi-Micro Determination of total osmolality of bio logical fluids and other aqueous liquids Typical applications for the Semi-Micro Osmometer K-7400 range from routine testing of physiological fluids such as blood serum and urine in clinics* up to quality control of food products like milk or isotonic soft drinks. Principle The Semi-Micro Osmometer K-7400 determines the osmolality by measuring the freezing point depression of the liquid sample. Osmolality describes the concentration of osmotic effective particles in solutions, independent from type, composition or electrical charge. The osmolality refers to the mass of the solution, meaning 1 kg of pure water. Advantages • Simple handling • 2 to 4 point calibration • Short measurement time (2 – 3 min) • Reasonable price • Fully automated measurement • Automatic storage of measurement values • Air cooling • Cooling process is thermistor controlled • Cooling chamber will not freeze
