The Take-up tubes are intended to be used with the 3120 SWEAT•CHEK Sweat Conductivity Analyzer for sweat analysis for the laboratory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis. The tubes allow for a sweat specimen as small as 6 to 10 microliters to be measured.
A portable, mains electricity (AC-powered) laboratory instrument intended to be used for the quantitative measurement of the electrical conductivity of a sweat specimen, as an indicator of total electrolyte concentration, by measuring the ease at which an electric current passes between two points of a conductor in a flow-through cell maintained at a precisely controlled temperature. Calibration solutions and controls are used to validate these results which are typically used to help diagnose cystic fibrosis. The device operates with reduced technician involvement and automation of some, but not all, procedural steps.
