The NanoDuct neonatal sweat analysis system for the diagnosis of cystic fibrosis offers laboratorians and pediatricians a significant reduction in test failure rates when compared with previous methods.
The use of continuous-flow analysis combined with device components compatible with newborn baby limb dimensions has made testing possible with little chance of failure after three to four days of life.
Significant reduction of the size of iontophoretic electrodes (2.5 square centimeters in area) and other innovations make the attachment of the NanoDuct easy.
Automatic diagnosis display continuously displays the conductivity and initial sweating rate, thus reassuring the operator of the presence of sweat.
