Single-Sample Micro-Osmometer User Guide
The average osmolality results of the three 3320 osmometers were compared to each of the Osmo1 osmometers using
the Passing Bablok regression analysis method. All results met acceptance criteria and did not exhibit any statistically
significant proportional or constant biases as the 95% confidence interval of the slope and intercept encompassed 1.0
and 0.0 respectively as shown in the results table below.
