A method providing monitoring of activity of a single sweat gland by measurement of electric conductivity of perfusion solution has been developed recently. The aim of this project was to design and develop a mesurement system employing the electric conductivity method, which could simultaneously monitor the sweat secretion from four sweat glands. The measurement chamber was developed to use in the measurement system. In vivo measurements using developed system were carried out. Detailed measurement procedure has been presented. The results proved proper operation of the designed system.
