  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Measuring sweat CI concentration requires multiple steps. Following pilocarpine iontophoresis we compared CI concentrations of sweat obtained on gauze pads to microvolumes (5 μL) collected into capillary tubes (N = 111). Chloride concentrations obtained by these two methods correlated significantly (r = 0.95; <jats:italic>P</jats:italic> &lt; 0.001), indicating that CI concentration can be measured accurately and easily on small volumes. <jats:bold>Pediatr Pulmonol. 1994; 17:340–342.</jats:bold> © 1994 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.</jats:p>
