Artificial Eccrine Perspiration
The Artificial Eccrine Perspiration is the closest mimic to true human eccrine sweat. It consists of nineteen amino acids, the seven most abundant minerals, and the four most abundant metabolites. All concentrations closely match experimentally determined values for adult human eccrine sweat. It is the only formula that can satisfy all test challenges and is thus the most complete formulation available.
Used for testing bankcards, textiles, jewelry, leather, coating, fingerprint identification chemistry and many others.
Artificial Apocrine Perspiration
Apocrine sweat is secreted by apocrine glands located in the areas of the body with an abundance of hair follicles such as the scalp, armpits and groins. Apocrine sweat is initially sterile and odorless but when acted upon by bacteria it forms odorous compounds. Artificial Apocrine Perspiration was developed to mimic the composition of human apocrine sweat and contains several volatile fatty acids that are responsible for the unpleasant odor associated with it.
Used for testing that requires the presence of malodor. It also could be used to culture bacteria that are commonly present on human skin.
Industry Specific Artificial Perspiration
In addition to the artificial eccrine and apocrine perspiration the following industry-specific artificial perspiration formulations are available:
Artificial Perspiration for Testing the Release of Nickel
