Model[Instrument, Osmometer]

A model describing a device for measurement of the osmolality of a solution using the vapor pressure osmometry method, by determining dew point depression. The instrument measures the dew point depression, a colligative property, of the sample solution and uses internal calibration to convert this to solution osmolality.
