Osmometry, a measurement of osmolality by the freezing-point method, is an important diagnostic method used in hospital, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries
Advanced Instruments has introduced its model 3250 single-sample osmometer, said to be the industry's first osmometer featuring on-board statistical analysis, test results storage and retrieval, and HIPAA compliance to protect patient privacy.
Osmometry, a measurement of osmolality by the freezing-point method, is an important diagnostic method used in hospital, pharmaceutical, and environmental industries.
"The model 3250 is the perfect instrument for labs running multiple samples per day and requiring statistical analysis," said Ken Micciche, director of marketing, Advanced Instruments.
"With its powerful Intel microprocessor and statistical analysis package, the osmometer stores up to 30 test results and can perform mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation analyses.
This gives laboratory technicians the freedom to perform other responsibilities," he said.
The model 3250's sample identification protocol supports HIPAA regulations by protecting patient privacy.
Integrated bar code reading minimises data recording and transcription errors.
Multi-language capability provides messages in local languages, and its calibration routine maximises operator productivity.
In addition, data export capability means the instrument can be linked to an external computer, and downloadable upgrades allow lab technicians to keep the software continuously current.
The osmometer's wide-range capability provides the versatility to test different product types.
The instrument also maintains calibration and configuration settings when the software is changed.
This allows for seamless operation following upgrades.
A small footprint maximises available bench space and the machine features an on-board, reliable thermal printer and convenient, visible vertical printout.
"The model 3250 is the first single-sample osmometer to offer this powerful combination of features and capabilities," said Micciche.
The unit will be available through Advanced Instruments distributors in December 2003.
