Abstract
The application relates to a device () for non-invasively sampling interstitial fluid comprising one or more analytes from dermis () to skin surface () by using the magneto-hydrodynamic effect. The device comprises a first electrode () and a second electrode () adapted to be positioned adjacent to the skin surface, the first electrode separated from the second electrode by a distance (), a power source () adapted to induce an electric current through the first electrode, the interstitial fluid and the second electrode, and also a magnet () adapted to produce a magnetic field to the interstitial fluid. Direction of the magnetic field and direction of the electric current produced by the magnet and the power source, respectively, is such that Lorentz force drives the fluid from the dermis towards the skin surface.
