Quality control of pharmaceutical solutions by determination of osmolality

The osmolality of solutions used in the clinical and pharmaceutical field is an important issue that requires regular monitoring. Especially infusion solutions but also solutions for external use like eye drops and rinsing solutions must be isotonic to ensure the physical well-being of humans. In this study, the osmolality of commercially available pharmaceutical solutions were determined using the KNAUER K-7400S Semi-Micro Osmometer.

Osmometer Reviews

In many laboratories, the accurate concentration of solved molecules in a liquid is essential for daily work routine. The KNAUER K-7400S Semi-Micro Osmometer is ideally suited for this task, since most solutes in a liquid can be measured. The determination of total particle concentration or osmolality becomes fast and simple. KNAUER is one of the pioneers in the field of osmometry and is known for its reliable and user-friendly instruments for many decades.

Osmolalities of the world

We analysed water around the world to create the first osmolality world map

 

Would you like to take part in creating the first osmolality world map? Send us your sample!

Regardless if there is the sea, a lake, a pond or a river right at your doorstep – just send us a small sample of it (1 ml in a sample tube). We will analyse it for you and add it to our map. Please take care to not use a vessel made of PE to store your sample, since this can render the sample impossible to analyze.

EuroOsmo 7400 control software

The K-7400S Semi-Micro Osmometer is a standalone device. Therefore, all functions of the instruments are accessible via the keypad. For additional storage and data management functions users can work with the EuroOsmo 7400 software. It offers a user-friendly interface to control the K-7400S Semi-Micro Osmometer via PC.

Measurement parameters can easily be changed and sent to the instrument via the software. For each sample a temperature curve is displayed to visualize the measurement process. Samples can be named individually and the measurement results can be saved for archiving. The data can also be exported in different file formats (e.g. *.xls, ASCII or Tab delimited text files). Thus, also the import to laboratory information management systems (LIMS) is possible. Supporting the use of a barcode scanner, sample identification can be transferred automatically reducing the risk of wrong sample assignment.

We have prepared a series of video tutorials on EuroOsmo 7400. Check them out here.
