| description | A method for increasing the permeability of the stratum corneum by means of a source of light, preferably a laser, more preferably a pulsed laser. By increasing the permeability of the stratum corneum, access to the interstitial fluid is achieved, thereby enabling measurement of analytes in the interstitial fluid. In one aspect, the method comprises the steps of:(a) providing a source of light having a wavelength of from about 930 nm to about 1040 nm; and(b) exposing a region of the stratum corneum of the patient to said source of light for a period of time sufficient to form an opening in the stratum corneum.Preferably, exposure of the region of the stratum corneum to the source of light is ceased when an amount of interstitial fluid fills the opening in the stratum corneum, which amount is sufficient to cause the scatter intensity of the light reflected from the surface of the interstitial fluid occupying the opening in the stratum corneum to differ from the scatter intensity of the light reflected from a region of the stratum corneum that is substantially free of interstitial fluid. The invention also involves an apparatus for carrying out the foregoing method. |
