Laboratory Practice - Determination of chloride in synthetic sweat

 These practical kits allow students with or without electrochemical experience to complement their academic
programs by an inquiry-based learning on research experiences. They are also useful for those researchers that are starting in the biosensing field.

The determination of chloride in synthetic sweat plays a key role in the early diagnosis of cystic fibrosis (CF) in people of all ages. People with CF have a high level of chloride in sweat. In voltametric sensors the analytical signal usually employed is the peakcurrent generated when a suitable potential window is scanned. This peak current is related to the concentration of the analyte.

The main objectives of this didactic laboratory kit are the establishment of a calibration curve to study the accuracy of the procedure for the determination of chloride in synthetic sweat sample.

The kit contains:

• The professor outline
• The student outline
• A box of suitable screen-printed electrodes (50 units)
• Solid NaCl (300 mg)
• Sinthetic sweat (3 solutions with different concentrations)
