Field of Applications
Osmometers
Osmometers are instruments for determination of osmotic concentration of aqueous solutions. A small amount of aqueous solution (100µl or 50µl) is used to measure the freezing point. Based on this value the instrument calculates the osmotic concentration (= osmotic pressure) and displays it.Application in human- and veterinary medicine:
- Determination of osmolality from urine, blood or serum (kidney function check)
Application in biological research:
- Determination of osmolality from nutrient solutions for cell culturing
- Determination of osmolality from fixing solutions for microscopic specimen
- Determination of osmolality from haemolymph (bodyfluid of insects)
Application in botany:
- Determination of osmolality from plant saps
- Determination of osmolality from nutrient solutions
Application in pharmaceutical industry:
- Osmolality of laboratory animals (as same as in veterinary medicine)
- Production check

Cryometers
Cryometers are instruments for determination of molecular concentration of chemical solutions. A small amount of benzene solution (150µl or 100µl) is used to measure the freezing point. Based on this value the instrument calculates the molale concentration (= molale pressure) and displays it.Application in chemical research:
- Determination of molality from substances
- Determination of molecular weight of unknown samples
