Degassing for clinical applications Gases such as oxygen and nitrogen are naturally soluble in water. Like all gases dissolved in liquids, however, they become less soluble at higher temperatures. As the temperature of the water feeding an analyzer increases to the typical clinical assay temperature of 37 °C, these gases form bubbles that can interfere with the analyzer’s optical measurements, and, in some instruments, can cause inaccurate dispense volumes. AFS® D water purification systems contain integrated degassing technology designed to provide a solution for applications requiring...
