Automatic osmometer OsmoTouch 1

single samplefor biological samplesfor pharmaceutical applications

Product overview
OsmoTouch 1 is a compact automatic osmometer for single-sample analysis, providing rapid freezing-point depression (osmolality) measurement in biological fluids, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other aqueous solutions. Designed for hospital, quality control and R&D laboratories, it operates reliably with low- to semi-viscous samples and in ambient temperatures up to +36°C.

Main capabilities and system features

• Full-colour 7" touchscreen with real-time freezing-curve visualization
• Stable memory for more than 4,000 results; results include date, time and username and are protected to ensure traceability
• PC software CryoSoft Touch for real-time monitoring and fast download of results
• USB ports for data export, firmware updates and connection of an optional barcode/QR reader
• Optional USB barcode/QR-code reader and 20-digit alphanumeric sample ID for rapid identification
• Immediate visualization of error messages and colour-coded results to highlight anomalies or critical values
• Features supporting FDA 21 CFR Part 11: Audit Trail, two password levels (administrator and user), obscured passwords and electronic signature storage
• Memory for 3 calibration curves selectable by analytical range
• Test duration: approx. 2–3 minutes per sample (0–900 mOsm/Kg)

Applications
Rapid osmolality/cryoscopic point determination in biological fluids, pharmaceutical and cosmetic samples and other solutions; suitable for pharmaceutical/cosmetic/homeopathic quality control, hospital laboratories and R&D environments. Particularly adapted to low- and semi-viscous samples.
