Description
It is a single-sample automatic osmometer for the rapid determination of the cryoscopic point variation (osmolality) in biological fluids, pharmaceutical samples and other solutions.
This next generation osmometer includes a lot of useful features that the most recent technology allows: a full colour 7” touchscreen display, real-time visualization of the freezing curve, stable memory for more than 4 000 results, a PC software for data handling, a USB port for downloading all data to a pen drive and much more. In particular, all OsmoTouch model are designed with characteristics in compliance with FDA norm 21 CFR Part 11, such as the set up of two different password levels, results including date, hour and username, without any possibility to modify them.
Compact and sturdy, OsmoTouch 1 can work with room temperatures up to 36°C. It is perfect for pharmaceutical / cosmetic / homeopathic applications and for uses in hospitals and R&D laboratories. Excellent for analysis of semiviscous samples.
Advantages of the osmometer
- Real-time graph of the sample temperature during each analysis
- An alphanumeric ID code can be added to each sample, easily
- Optional barcode reader for a quick sample identification (it requires an additional RS232 port to be requested when ordering)
- Results shown in different colours for a quick identification of anomalies or critical values
- Features in compliance with the FDA norm 21 CFR Part 11: set up of two different password levels (administrator and user), results with date, hour and username (electronic signature) and unmodifiable results to avoid any fraud
- Stable memory for 3 different calibration curves based on the favorite analytical ranges
- Stable memory for up to 4,000 results
- Easy download of test results to a USB pen drive
- Real time PC monitoring or quick download of test results to a PC thanks to CryoSoft Touch data handling software
- Immediate visualization of error messages
