What are the Limitations of the Gravimetric Method?
While the gravimetric method is highly accurate, it does have some limitations. First, it may not be suitable for measuring extremely small volumes of fluid due to the precision limits of weighing scales. Second, it requires a reliable and calibrated scale, which might not always be available in resource-limited settings. Lastly, the method can be time-consuming, particularly in a busy clinical environment where quick assessments are often needed.
