Claim 13:
14. A method of detecting an analyte, comprising:
providing a monitoring device having a power source and configured to rupture membrane cells in a sample to release the cell contents, to record sensor data and to transfer the sample from a sample collector to a monitor detector for monitoring and measuring analyte concentrations of the contents with a sample deposition port/pad coupled to the sample collector;
providing a detector component having a plurality of sensors coupled to the monitoring device to detect from the contents of the sample at least one analyte signature data and environment information related to an environment and to direct fluid flow to the detector component with an active/passive flow induction device;
recording a detection location of the detector component at a time of detection of the at least one analyte signature data and the environment information;
receiving and recording data comprising operating status of the detector component and, at the time of detection, the detected at least one analyte signature data and the environment information; and
providing a communication device coupled to the detector component for transmitting the recorded data to an associated receiver, wherein the associated receiver receives and processes the recorded data.
