1. A body fluid sampling device comprising:
- an indexable cartridge;
a plurality of penetrating members positioned in the cartridge, the penetrating members movable to extend radially outward from the cartridge to penetrate tissue;
a plurality of analyte detecting members positioned in the cartridge, wherein at least one of the analyte detecting members positioned on the cartridge to receive body fluid from a wound in the tissue created by a penetrating member when the cartridge is in an operative position; and
a structure to draw fluid generated by the tissue towards one of the analyte detecting members; and
wherein an initial concentration (mm) of an analyte detecting member is;
[HO2]=fAqSO2Aq+fSiSO2 Si,the effective partition coefficient is

Abstract
A body fluid sampling device is provided. A mesh (120) may be used to guide blood or fluid to travel directly form the wound to an analyte detecting port on the cartridge (121). Thus the volume of blood or body fluid produced at the wound site irregardless of its droplet geometry can be reliable and substantially completely transported to the analyte detecting member (150) for measurement.
