Hydration status can by measured using refractometry, with many studies validating the use of refractometry via the measurement of urine specific gravity (Armstrong et al.
We conducted blood and urine sampling with refractometry to evaluate hydration status and no significant pre- to postdifferences were observed during the simulated SSR mission, thus indicating that hydration status was not compromised in the present subjects, as might be the case during SSR missions in hot environments.
PerkinElmer acquired Triton's thermal analysis product line (see IBO 1/15/07), Waters purchased Calorimetry Sciences Corporation (see IBO 8/15/07) and Rover Industries bought Dynisco (see IBO 12/15/07), while Nova Analytics (see IBO 9/30/07) and Anton Paar GmbH (see IBO 7/15/07) each purchased refractometry companies.
