Preparing isotonic solutions involves careful calculation to ensure the correct osmolarity:
1. Determine the Desired Concentration: For instance, to prepare a 0.9% NaCl solution, you would dissolve 9 grams of NaCl in 1 liter of water. 2. Measure Accurately: Use precise measuring tools to ensure the correct proportions of solutes. 3. Mix Thoroughly: Ensure that the solutes are fully dissolved to maintain uniformity in the solution.
