Now with a self-cleaning thermocouple, the Vapro osmometer brings simplicity and convenience to the routine determination of osmolality to help meet the demands placed on today’s laboratories. Auto-calibration, self-diagnostics, statistical analysis and computer interface/printout capabilities make the osmometer suitable for any busy laboratory. The small sample requirement allows users to assay hard-to-get samples using the vapour pressure method.
Vapour pressure measurement is the method of choice for most fluids in biology in which water is the solvent. The vapour pressure method determines osmolality at room temperature with the sample in natural equilibrium. Cryoscopic artefacts due to high viscosity, suspended particles or other conditions that can interfere with freezing point are avoided with vapour pressure determinations, giving the Vapro osmometer a broad range of error-free applications. Functions are user-friendly, selected from a simple and logical menu.
