SECTION 3: SWEAT INDUCTION AND COLLECTION
3.1 Preparing for Sweat Induction
9. Install a Second Pilogel Disc on Black Electrode and Attach to Limb
a. Attach the strap to one side of the black electrode following the
same process used in Step 8a.
b. Fit a second Pilogel disc into the black electrode. Before attaching,
place a drop of deionized water on the skin where the electrode is
to be placed, or on the surface of the Pilogel disc to enhance the
connection between the Pilogel disc and skin.
c. Position the black electrode, with a Pilogel disc, at a suitable
location on the same limb as the red electrode.
d. Attach the strap to the other side of the black electrode following
the same process used for the red electrode.
e. Grip the electrode and lift it briefly above the skin to equalize
strap tension on each side of the electrode and then position the
electrode back on the skin surface. Adjust strap tension on either
side, as needed, to ensure even contact.
f. Draw the skin back away from the electrode to remove any
underlying wrinkles.
g. Tap to advance to the next screen, or tap to go back to the
previous screen.
