Robert H. Gregg M.D.1 and Rudrick E. Boucher B.A., B.S.1

1 Department of Pediatrics, Wayne State University and Children's Hospital of Michigan, Detroit, Michigan

It is simple, inexpensive, and adaptable to use in the physician's office and in laboratories where sweat tests are done infrequently.
