Osmometer – Astori Cryo Series – Freezing Point Technology
The Astori CryoStyle 40 Osmometer is a 40-sample carousel-based automatic instrument with a wide touch-screen for the rapid determination of the cryoscopic point variation (osmolality) in fluids and other solutions.The curve of the measured temperature values of the analysed sample is shown on the screen in real time, during the determination.
The Astori Cryo Series utilises over 30years experience using Freezing Point technology an industry preferred method for sample concentration.
Osmometer-CryoStyle40
It provides auto-calibration, self-diagnostics and statistical analysis. Computer interface printout capabilities increase the utility of this instrument for any busy laboratory. Since solution concentration, or osmolality, is fundamental to all physiochemical processes in the body involving diffusion of solute or transfer of fluids through membranes, knowledge of the various body fluid osmolalities is fundamentally useful in prognosis.
A single sample version CryoBasic is also available.
The CryoSeries test parameters can be adjusted depending on sample type making them an excellent solution for the analysis of complex solutions including blood, serum, plasma, urine etc…
LABTEK Services has supported freezing point technology instrumentation in the food and beverage industry since 1987.
CryoBasic Single Sample Osmometer
As a company we can also support Advanced Instrument osmometers which are now obsolete including the Model 3D3 as well as latest 3250 model.
