ThumbnailDescription & CreditThumbnailDescription & Credit

This image represents the equilibration of osmotic stress among the phase under study and the external stressing solution in vast excess across a semipermeable membrane. At equilibrium the osmotic pressure of the stressing solution is identical to the osmotic pressure stressing the subphase.Credit: NICHD.

Direct application of osmotic stress through equilibration with a stressing polymer can sometimes be circumvented through vapour pressure equilibration. This method of generating osmotic stress is especially usefull at high osmotic pressures.Credit: NICHD.
