Sp biosorbent was immobilized onto MMT clay by using two different modification techniques; immobilization by conventional physical adsorption in solution (SOL) and in situ cryoscopic expansion (C-XP) [36].
The cryoscopic index was analyzed using the Micro processed Electronic Cryoscope (MK 540 Flex) previously calibrated, where 2.5 mL sample was added to the reading apparatus and its value recorded.
The pH value and osmotic pressure of all vitrification solutions were measured by a pH meter (Mettler Toledo, USA) and an Osmometer (OSMOMAT030 Cryoscopic Osmometer, Germany), respectively.
Urinary osmolality, which is a measure of urinary dilution, was measured by the freezing point depression method using an automatic cryoscopic osmometer (Osmomat[R] 030; Gonotec GmbH).
