Sweat Sodium, Potassium, and Chloride Concentrations Analyzed Same Day as Collection Versus After 7 Days Storage in a Range of Temperatures.
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of storage temperature on sodium ([Na+ ]), potassium ([K+ ]), and chloride ([Cl- ]) concentrations of sweat samples analyzed 7 days after collection. Using the absorbent patch technique, 845 sweat samples were collected from 39 subjects (32 ± 7 years, 72.9 ± 10.5 kg) during exercise. On the same day as collection (PRESTORAGE), 609 samples were analyzed for [Na+ ], [Cl- ], and [K+ ] by ion chromatography (IC) and 236 samples were analyzed for [Na+ ] using a compact ion-selective electrode (ISE). Samples were stored at one of the four conditions: -20 °C (IC, n = 138; ISE, n = 60), 8 °C (IC, n = 144; ISE, n = 59), 23 °C (IC, n = 159; ISE, n = 59), or alternating between 8 °C and 23 °C (IC, n = 168; ISE, n = 58). After 7 days in storage (POSTSTORAGE), samples were reanalyzed using the same technique as PRESTORAGE. PRESTORAGE sweat electrolyte concentrations were highly related to that of POSTSTORAGE (intraclass correlation coefficient: .945-.989, p < .001). Mean differences (95% confidence intervals) between PRESTORAGE and POSTSTORAGE were statistically, but not practically, significant for most comparisons: IC [Na+ ]: -0.5(0.9) to -2.1(0.9) mmol/L; IC [K+ ]: -0.1(0.1) to -0.2(0.1) mmol/L; IC [Cl- ]: -0.4(1.4) to -1.3(1.3) mmol/L; ISE [Na+ ]: -2.0(1.1) to 1.3(1.1) mmol/L. Based on typical error of measurement results, 95% of the time PRESTORAGE and POSTSTORAGE sweat [Na+ ], [K+ ], and [Cl- ] by IC analysis fell within ±7-9, ±0.6-0.7, and ±9-13 mmol/L, respectively, while sweat [Na+ ] by ISE was ±6 mmol/L. All conditions produced high reliability and acceptable levels of agreement in electrolyte concentrations of sweat samples analyzed on the day of collection versus after 7 days in storage.
