Applications
The OsmoTECH® HT Automated Micro-Osmometer is designed for high-throughput osmolality testing in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, bioprocessing, formulation development, research, and quality-control laboratories. Its automated 96-well workflow is particularly suitable for laboratories processing large numbers of samples and performing repetitive osmolality measurements.
Working Principle
The OsmoTECH® HT determines solution osmolality using freezing point osmometry. The instrument measures the change in freezing point of an aqueous sample and converts this measurement into osmolality. Automated sample handling and high-throughput 96-well plate processing allow multiple samples to be analyzed efficiently with consistent measurement performance and minimal manual intervention.
