OsmoTECH XT Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer Service Guide
10
Foreword
Intended use
Advanced Instruments osmometers use the technique of
freezing point depression to measure osmolality.
Osmolality is the total solute concentration of an
aqueous solution. Osmometers measure the number of
solute particles irrespective of molecular weight or ionic
charge.
Osmolality information is useful to the following
disciplines:
• Medical research
• Biotechnology and pharmaceutical research and
manufacturing
• Academic research
• Industrial applications
NOTE: OsmoTECH XT is not for patient diagnostic use.
Osmolality is a valuable in-process test that provides a
reliable and repeatable value that reflects overall solute
content of a solution. Osmolality is a critical indicator
used throughout the bioproduction process to assure the
highest quality and yield of biologics. It should be a
routine and frequent check to prevent costly loss of
product or suboptimal production and to ensure the
process is within specification.
