However, there would be no need for blood samples if other body fluids such as sweat and tears could do the job. This is indeed possible, as sweat and tears contain similar analytes (or biomarkers) as blood. Although the concentration of analytes varies with body fluids (Table 1), initial studies indicate they have a good correlation with blood and hence could...
