Nanoduct™ Neonatal Sweat Analysis System
Early Cystic Fibrosis Diagnosis

Discovery Diagnostics, Canadian distributor for Wescor's Nanoduct Neonatal Sweat Analysis System for early laboratory diagnosis of cystic fibrosis.
Nanoduct Neonatal Sweat Analysis SystemThe Nanoduct System provides iontophoresis for 2 ½ minutes followed by continuous flow conductivity analysis on only 3 microliters of sweat. The Nanoduct System also provides the initial sweating rate. While Nanoduct is designed for neonates, it works equally well on patients of any age.

 Wescor presents a significant breakthrough in sweat testing that for the first time makes possible reliable CF diagnosis in the first days of life. Early diagnosis allows timely intervention and more effective therapy to improve quality of life for CF patients.







Hemotology Slide Stainer Cytocentrifuge Product Details
Unique continuous-flow analysis eliminates a separate collection phase and analyzes pristine samples within minutes. The possibility of human error is minimized. In addition, the system provides automatic display of initial sweating rate and automatic averaging of conductivity. With shorter stimulation time and minuscule sample requirement (only 3 microliters of sweat), you can have reliable results in only a few minutes.

Nanoduct's miniaturized components fit easily on neonates. It is a complete integrated diagnostic system that simplifies the procedure not only for neonates but for patients of any age.

Nanoduct incorporates the classic method of inducing sweat by pilocarpine iontophoresis. The pilocarpine is carried into the dermis of the patient from improved Pilogel® Iontophoretic discs via a controlled DC electrical current supplied by the Nanoduct Inducer/Analyzer. This is followed by continuous flow analysis of sweat electrolyte concentration using the unique conductivity sensor.

Simple to use on Neonates
Infant size electrodes slip easily into the holders, thus greatly simplifying electrode and sensor attachment, as attested by clinical trials
