SECTION 3: SWEAT INDUCTION AND COLLECTION
3.3 Collecting Sweat
8. Remove Tube Using Syringe or Sweat Dispenser
Remove Tube Using the Syringe
a. Use the provided nippers to sever the tubing as close as possible
to the collector surface.
b. Immediately after severing the tubing, use the plunger to
carefully draw the column of sample sweat further into the tube
(towards but not into the syringe) 3-5 cm (one or two inches). This
is to prevent any loss of sweat from the cut end due to expansion
of air in the syringe body. It also allows for squarely cutting off the
tightly-coiled end of the microbore tubing for easier handling.
c. Place the open end of the Macroduct tubing in the small sealable
container. Hold the tubing securely in the container and expell the
sweat by slowly moving the syringe plunger down. The sweat
should move smoothly down and out of the tubing.
d. Immediately close the cover to protect the specimen.
Or
e. If using the Sweat-Chek Analyzer, attach the end of the tube to
the Sweat-Chek intake for analysis. Refer to instructions in the
Sweat-Chek User’s manual.
WARNING!
The small sealable collection containers are a choking hazard if
swallowed. Keep out of reach of children.
