6 Measurement of a Sample Solution
After calibration respectively calibration confirmation, the unit is ready for sample measurements.
Since the sample measurements must be carried out under the same conditions as the
calibration, 50 µl of the sample liquid are filled via pipette into a clean, dry measuring vessel.
It is essential that there are no air bubbles!
The sample holder is numbered 0 through 20 from left to right. Fill the sample holder for an individual
measurement as follows:
Position
0
with
distilled water
Position
1
with the
sample solution
When filling the sample holder, ensure that position 0 is always filled with a measuring
vessel with distilled water. If position 0 is not filled, there is no measured value for the
first sample!
The sample cover is then placed on the sample holder to prevent premature evaporation of the
samples.
The sample cover reduces the risk of premature evaporation of the samples. However,
it does not protect the samples from leakage.
To perform the sample measurement, select >

in the initial display. A
display appears for the input of sample-specific data. Select

, if you do not need any data or
want to use the data automatically provided by the system. You will now be prompted to insert the
sample holder in the unit. The Osmomat auto automatically detects the inserted sample holder and
begins the measurement.
You can track the cooling of the sample during a measurement on the display.
