FreezePoint® Freezing Point Osmometer

FreezePoint® Freezing Point Osmometer is designed for routine medical, research, and industry measurements that determine the total osmolality of aqueous solutions. It is easily controlled via a touch screen display and step-by-step user guidance. With this instrument and a sample size as small as 15µl, you can receive rapid results in 60 seconds (Models 6000 / 6000S). Never lose your data with a built-in printer (Models 6000P / 6000SP), PC connectivity, and data saving in stand-by mode. The FreezePoint® Freezing Point Osmometer is easy to handle and maintain with a robust design. And with an automatic, two or three point calibration, you're always sure of the accuracy of your results.

Measurement Technique

The total osmolality of aqueous solutions is determined by comparative measurements of the freezing points of pure water and of solutions. Whereas water has a freezing point of 0°C, a solution with saline concentration of 1 Osmol/kg has a freezing point of -1.858°C.
