Sweat Collection System
The human eccrine system consists of a collection of glands that excrete sweat to the surface of the skin under control of the sympathetic nervous system. The result helps to provide for thermal homeostasis across a range of environmental and physiological conditions. The rich composition of solutes and metabolites in sweat and the relative ease with which it can be non-invasively collected upon excretion from skin pores make this class of biofluid highly attractive for diverse applications in ambulatory health diagnostics, sports performance, and monitoring. In situ, quantitative analysis of sweat for these and other purposes have traditionally relied on extraction using disposable gauzes, absorbent pads, Parafilm-M pouches, and/or arm bags/gloves (Choi et al, 2018). Epicore Biosystems` launch of the Discovery Patch Sweat Collection System radically simplifies sweat biomarker capture, collection, and analytics for clinical trials and research.
