How can you measure serum osmolality without centrifugation ? With best wishes Richard Biochemistry Department Queen Mary's Hospital Sidcup, Kent DA14 6LT -----Original Message----- From: Frost, Stephen [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, September 05, 2002 10:25 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: POCT Osmometers Hello An ICU on an adjacent unit to our hospital has enquired about having their own osmometer. This is so results can be available immediately for ward rounds which happen early in the morning. Hence it might also help our O/C staff get some sleep. Have any of you gone down this road and if so with what equipment? Do you know of osmometers that work with whole blood or is centrifugation required in practice?
