The MX3 hydration testing system uses a single device to perform two different real-time tests, indicating how much fluid you should drink and which type of liquid will best replenish the electrolytes lost during exercise

Movistar Team’s performance staff will have access to the most advanced and fastest tool for monitoring riders’ hydration levels. By leveraging MX3’s portable and non-invasive laboratory, along with its user-friendly mobile app, this simple device will provide crucial data—not only to prevent dehydration and injuries but also to enhance performance.

MX3’s groundbreaking technology features a handheld portable lab, test strips, and a smart application to seamlessly measure, track, and assess hydration status. This technology allows for a deeper understanding of a cyclist’s physiological needs, ensuring precise monitoring and tracking of hydration levels.

Hydration is essential for athletic performance with even 1-2% losses in bodyweight leading to reduced physical performance. Hydration demands for professional cycling are some of the greatest of any sport. The MX3 Lab Pro will enable Movistar men’s and women’s teams to track and monitor hydration status through the revolutionary saliva-based hydration testing in addition to providing lab-accurate assessment of sweat sodium profiling to enable coaches to develop personalize electrolyte replacement for the athletes. 

As part of our innovation strategy, MX3 will be soon releasing the first ever non-invasive saliva-based lactate test strip for assessment of aerobic capacity with accuracy equivalent to blood-based lactate meters as well as a saliva-based ketone test strip, for use in both dieting as well as endurance sports. These strips will be compatible with the MX3 Lab Pro, helping us to realize the vision of a “Lab in the Palm of your Hand”.

For the first time, truly accurate hydration analysis and monitoring are now possible.

Gursharan Chana (Chief Scientist MX3): “MX3 is changing what’s possible for personalized monitoring of biomarkers related to performance and health and wellbeing by enabling rapid, lab-accurate point-of-care testing that is convenient and affordable.”

Juan Pablo Molinero (CMO Movistar Team): “We are very excited about this partnership. Optimal hydration is essential for our riders’ performance, and thanks to our agreement with MX3, we will be able to regularly monitor hydration levels to ensure the body is always ready to perform at its best.”
