Patent ID: 7092752

Claim:
A skin acupoint/meridian nitric oxide collection method by using a skin acupoint/meridian nitric oxide collection kit, comprising the steps of: (a) locating a tubular guiding body of said collection kit on a skin surface, wherein said guiding body having a collecting cavity and a skin window provided on a wall surface of said guiding body to communicate with said collecting cavity; (b) retaining said guiding body on said skin surface at position that said skin window acts as an opening of said collecting cavity of said guiding body to communicate said collecting cavity with said skin surface through said skin window (c) injecting a nitric oxide collecting solution having a predetermined concentration into said collecting cavity, wherein said nitric oxide collecting solution within said collecting cavity is adapted for applying to said skin surface through said skin window; (d) allowing said nitric oxide collecting solution to absorb nitrate and nitrite from said skin surface for a predetermined period of time so as to collect said nitrate and nitrite from said skin surface without penetrating said guiding body through said skin surface to form a final solution; and (e) collecting said final solution from said collecting cavity for assaying nitric oxide concentration of said skin surface.
