Osmolality Testing

The human body uses fluids for several important bodily functions such as regulating body temperature and disposing of waste through processes like urination. Our bodies naturally generate heat as they function. To help maintain a healthy body temperature, our bodies utilize the fluids in our system in processes like sweating. As we sweat, it’s critical

Very simply put, osmolality is a measure of how much one substance has dissolved in another substance. This is the exact type of information product researchers, developers, manufacturers, QC, QA, want to ascertain, especially when it comes to drinks, functional beverages, water, gels, creams, ointments, and just about any topicals. But osmolality measurement isn’t just

Customer loyalty is a significant addition to any business, particularly in the world of beverages and cosmetics. A loyal customer means more revenue for years to come. Increasing customer retention by only 2% can have the same impact as reducing costs by 10%! (Bain & Co.) Loyal customers are worth 10 times as much as

The time-honored formula for researching the fundamentals of a subject is “the Five W’s.” The Five W’s may initially call one’s mind back to grade-school but can actually be traced all the way back to Aristotle’s “Elements of Circumstance.”   Those rudimental yet ever so interrogative words are, of course: Who, What, When, Where, Why? Osmolality

We explored the Five W’s of Osmolality Testing in the most recent blog. These 5 W’s are often followed by a sixth interrogative question, “How is osmolality tested?” Osmolality testing uses state of the art pieces of laboratory instruments known as osmometers. There are two main types, vapor pressure osmometers, and freezing point osmometers. VAPOR PRESSURE osmometry works by
