Devices associated with on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. These devices include any of packaging and/or loading systems, applicators and elements of the on-body sensor units themselves. Also, various approaches to connecting electrochemical analyte sensors to and/or within associated on-body analyte sensor units are disclosed. The connector approaches variously involve the use of unique sensor and ancillary element arrangements to facilitate assembly of separate electronics assemblies and sensor elements that are kept apart until the end user brings them together.

A blood collection tube comprises: 1) a body including a proximal end and a distal end, and defining an axial extent between the proximal end and the distal end; 2) a chamber within the body, the chamber including a plurality of mixing ribs; 3) a vacuum port; and 4) a cap arranged on the proximal end, wherein the cap comprises: a) a top face including a first septum; b) a first conduit having an inlet extending from the first septum and an outlet in fluid communication with the chamber; c) a lateral face including a second septum; d) a second conduit extending radially from the second septum to the first conduit; and a plurality of mixing ribs; wherein, when a fluid source is fluidically connected to the first septum or the second septum, and a vacuum is applied at the vacuum port, the vacuum draws fluid from the fluid source, through the first or second septum, and into the first conduit; and when the tube is rotated around an axis defined by the axial extent, the mixing ribs of the cap and the mixing ribs of the chamber cause fluids therein to swirl, thereby effecting mixing of the fluids therein.

A method for applying cold atmospheric plasma treatment to target tissue comprising the steps of treating a patient with a pharmaceutical for suppressing apolipoprotein E genes, selecting through a graphical user interface a particular soft tissue sarcoma cell line associated with target tissue, retrieving, with the computing device, settings data associated with the selected soft tissue sarcoma cell line from a database of cell line data and associated settings data in a storage, and applying, with the computing device, the retrieved settings data to a cold atmospheric plasma system.
