A device for sampling a biological fluid and measuring at least one target constituent
within the biological fluid. The device has at least one electrochemical cell having
an inner electrode and an outer electrode in a concentrically-spaced relationship.
In a preferred embodiment, the outer electrode has a cylindrical configuration
having an open distal end and the inner electrode has an elongated configuration
positioned co-axially within the outer electrode and a distal end configured to
penetrate the skin. The spacing between the electrodes exerts a capillary force
on biological fluid present at the open distal end of the outer electrode. A system
is also provided which includes a control unit in electrical communication with
the electrochemical cell for controlling the selection and measurement of the target
constituent. Methods of sampling of biological fluids within the skin and measuring
the sampled fluids are also provided, as well as kits comprising one or more of
the inventive devices and/or systems.
