A cervical cell collection device, kit and method for the collection of cervical cells is provided. In some embodiments, the cervical cell collection device comprises an outer guide assembly having a distal end section with an aperture there through; an inner assembly positioned within the outer guide assembly, the inner assembly having a distal end with a collapsible collection pad secured thereto by a flexible collection support, wherein the inner assembly is movable from a first position where the collection pad is folded inside distal end section of the outer guide assembly to a second position where the collection pad is pushed through the aperture in the distal end of the outer guide assembly where it expands to contact and collect cervical cells.

Systems and methods for detection of analytes by production of electrochemical species are provided. Some embodiments of this invention relate generally to carbon biosensors for detecting an analyte in a biological sample. More specifically, this invention relates generally to immunoassays for detection of analytes utilizing electroactive compounds, and more particularly, relates to diagnostic assays based on signals from electroactive chemical undergoing redox cycling on electrosensor consisting of carbon, to detect analytes wherein a precomplex mixture is formed and a multi-step, or single-step, assay is performed, resulting in greater signal.

A heart beat rate monitor is provided with memory means for storing upper and lower limits of a range of heart beat rates. The limits are transmitted to and stored in the memory from an external source. The monitor wearer's heart beat is sensed and whenever the sensed beat rate is outside the range defined by the limits an out-of-range indication is provided to the wearer. The memory means are powered so as not to be affected by the depletion of the main battery which is the primary source of power for the monitor circuitry. In some embodiments, the limits received from the external unit are transmitted thereto for verification purposes. In some embodiments the actual sensed heart beat rate and/or the stored limits are displayable to the wearer upon request.
