Summary

The goal of this study is to compare the rate of Quantity Not Sufficient (QNS) during sweat collection in infants under 6 months of age, using the Macroduct Advanced device for sweat testing. The main question it aims to answer is:

Does sweat collection from the thigh (lower limb) reduce the QNS rate compared to the forearm (upper limb) in infants? Do chloride concentration levels differ between sweat collected from the forearm and thigh in the same infants?
