This invention provides a method for performing a simple "sweat test" with particular use in screen testing for cystic fibrosis. The method includes the use of an iontophoretic device adapted for ambulatory use which has a self-adhesive drug-impregnated electrode for the stimulation of sweat coupled with the subsequent use of a test patch device for performing the analysis of the sweat in situ. For cystic fibrosis diagnosis, the test patch is particularly adapted to determine chloride concentration in the sweat when the concentration exceeds a predetermined level. |

In order to simplify the operation for determination of the acid-base status of blood, composed of the values for pH, pCO.sub.2 and the base excess BE, the base excess BE is determined through measurement of the pH-value at a pCO.sub.2 of about 0 mm Hg. The pH-values may be determined photometrically, in which case the indicator solution for measuring the actual blood-pH is an aqueous solution of 40 micromol/l bromthymol blue plus 0.2 g/l sodium dodecylsulfate plus 1% ethanol; and for measurement of the base excess BE is an aqueous solution of 65 micro mol/l naphtholphthalein plus 0.2 g/l sodium dodecylsulfate plus 15% dimethylsulfoxide, which are measured at a wavelength of 635 nm. If desired, one may use a single solution for measuring both actual blood-pH as well as the base excess BE, composed of 16 micromol/l bromthymol blue plus 34 micromol/l naphtholphthalein plus 0.15 g/l sodium dodecylsulfate, which is measured at 615 nm wavelength. |

An absorbent quantitative test device in the form of a flat patch. When placed on the skin of a subject; the device collects a fixed volume of sweat. It is particularly intended to be used in screen testing for cystic fibrosis by measuring the chloride level in sweat and providing a visual indication when the level is in excess of a predetermined concentration. A fill tab indicator undergoes a color change when the fixed volume of sweat has been collected signifying completion of the test. The device includes two concentric circular reaction areas of chemically treated absorbent paper or the like. The sweat sample is introduced into the device at the center of the first or inner circular reaction area which contains a chemical composition capable of reacting with all chloride in the sweat sample below a predetermined concentration value to screen out that amount of chloride. A second or outer ring-shaped reaction area contains a chemical composition which indicates a color change for any chloride reaching it in excess of the predetermined concentration value. The color change in the outer ring-shaped portion thereby provides a quantitative indication of the presence of a concentration of chloride in the subject' s sweat in excess of the predetermined concentration level. |

Analytical elements and methods for the selective determination of an analyte in aqueous fluids containing the analyte. These elements and methods feature means for continuously releasing chromogenic indicator reagent from a reagent zone to a reaction zone. The continuous release means is responsive to the application of a sample of the fluid to continuously release reagent into the reaction zone at a rate producing color response corresponding to interaction of the indicator with the analyte and reduced interaction of the indicator with interferents. In preferred embodiments, albumin is determined in the presence of interfering proteins such as globulins using buffered chromogenic indicator reagent. In such embodiments, when protein interferents are present, their interference can be substantially eliminated for up to three minutes, during which time color response is substantially only from the interaction of albumin and reagent. The determination of albumin follows from such color response. |

In a testing procedure for determining the concentration of a organic phosphate in human fluids by determining the amount of light absorbance of a chromogen in a test sample formed by reacting the phosphate with at least two reagents in two separate steps, a true blank is prepared having a light absorbance representative of all the constituents in the sample other than the chromogen. The true blank is prepared by adding the same reagents to a blank sample in a sequence different from that used for the test sample so that the conditions under which the chromogen is formed are avoided in the blank sample.

A direct method is provided for the spectrophotometric determination of inorganic phosphate in fluids, particularly body fluids, such as blood serum. The process requires only a single reagent addition and comprises reacting the phosphate-containing fluid with an ammonium molybdate solution and thereafter measuring the absorbance within a specified time interval before the reaction has measurably proceeded and at the end of the reaction by means of a centrifugal analytical photometer. Inasmuch as a linear relationship exists between the phosphate concentration and the change of absorbance, the concentration is an unknown sample can be conveniently calculated by comparison with the results obtained from the simultaneous measurement of a sample of known concentration.
