Measurement Of Sodium In Athletes’ Sweat
Application Note LAQUAtwin is a series of pocket ION meters. Using Ion Selective Electrode (ISE) technology, they are available for measuring Conductivity, Calcium, Nitrate, Potassium, Sodium, Salt concentration and pH measurement. Using just a tiny amount of sample, the LAQUAtwin proprietary flat sensors can quickly and accurately measure the values of the chemical parameters in the field. Measurement Of Sodium In Athletes’ Sweat Introduction It is useful to determine the amount of sodium present in sweat as replacing sodium (Na+) lost from sweating plays an important role in preventing fluid and electrolyte imbalances. By finding the amount of sodium lost, one may estimate the amount of electrolyte that should be replaced. Sweat can usually be tested for sodium content by a
