Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for determining levels of a target analyte in a biological sample. A transdermal sampling and analysis device may include a substrate, at least one disruptor mounted on the substrate, a reservoir configured to collect and contain a biological sample, at least two electrodes, and an electrochemical bioassay configured to determine levels of a target analyte in the biological sample. The at least one disruptor of the transdermal sampling and analysis device may be configured to generate a localized heat capable of altering permeability characteristics of a stratum corneum layer of skin of an organism.
