Advanced Instruments Introduces Model 3320 Osmometer -- New Diagnostic Instrument Sets Standards for Precision and Accuracy
Advanced Instruments, Inc., today introduced the Advanced® Model 3320 Osmometer, the industry’s most accurate and reliable instrument for osmolality measurement.
NORWOOD, MASSACHUSETTS, USA, March 7, 2005 – Advanced Instruments, Inc.,
today introduced the Advanced® Model 3320 Osmometer, the industry’s most
accurate and reliable instrument for osmolality measurement. The company debuted
the new osmometer at the CLMA/ASCP Thinklab '05 Conference & Exhibition in
Chicago.
Osmometry, a measurement of osmolality by the freezing-point
method, is an important diagnostic method used in hospital, pharmaceutical, and
environmental industries.
“The Model 3320 surpasses previous standards of
performance for freezing-point measurement,” said Ken Micciche, director,
marketing, Advanced Instruments. “A user selectable, optional calibration
routine optimizes the linearity in the instrument’s upper range (up to 2,000
mOsm). This capability ensures testing accuracy and precision over the entire
calibrated range,” he said.
The instrument has been completely redesigned
in a low-profile, compact enclosure for easy access to the sample probe and
solenoid assembly. Its simple architecture eliminates sample errors, simplifies
testing, and promotes maintenance-free operation.
Other Model 3320
features include:
* 60-second testing time
* Bar code capability for
improved documentation
* Electronic storage and retrieval of up to 30 tests
and calibration data
* On-board statistical analysis for mean, standard
deviation, and coefficient of variation
* Multiple language capability
*
Data export capability for linking to an external computer
* Downloadable
software upgrades
“A wide range of customer feedback was incorporated to
make the Model 3320 a truly impressive, state-of-the-art solution for
freezing-point measurement,” said Micciche. “This osmometer is ideal for
clinical and diagnostic laboratories seeking greater control and accuracy,
minimal downtime, and higher productivity.”
The Model 3320 is on display
at Advanced Instruments’ Booth 332 at the CLMA/ASCP
Thinklab '05 Conference
& Exhibition on March 5-8, 2005, and will be available for delivery starting
June 1, 2005.
