[Histonet] ?Osmolarity

[Etheridge, Sandra AGF:EX]

Hello, everyone,

I was asked today by a fellow co-worker if I knew what osmolarity was and
how to calculate it for a complex solution.  She needs to find the
osmolarity of a Phosphate Buffered Saline solution (made inhouse).  She has
the normal concentrations for all the components, but doesn't know where to
go from there, and neither do I!!!!

Any help or info is, as always, appreciated.
