  • Fluidic test apparatus and method
    Patent number: 7908906
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method for determining the osmolarity of a fluid. The system includes an apparatus having: a chip with a substantially planar top surface; a first circuit portion and a second circuit portion, each having a plurality of redundant electrically conductive lines disposed on the top surface; and a gap disposed between the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion, wherein a circuit is created when a fluid sample bridges the gap and connects the first circuit portion and the second circuit portion.

  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR POINT OF CARE OSMOLARITY TESTING
    Publication number: 20080053206
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are disclosed for providing point of care testing for osmolarity of a bodily fluid. An apparatus is disclosed as having a fluid pathway passing through it for receiving and testing a sample fluid. The invention permits osmolarity testing of a sample fluid wherein the sample fluid has a volume of less than approximately 30 nL, and implements a method and device to measure fluid osmolarity in a clinical setting quickly and accurately, while also reducing evaporation of the fluid.
