A glucose meter includes a housing, and a first chamber and a second chamber defined in the housing. A first barrel is installed in the first chamber and adapted to accommodate multiple lancets therein. A second barrel is installed in the second chamber and adapted to accommodate multiple test strips therein. Additionally, each of the first and second chamber includes a hinged lid which is lifted to expose the first and second barrel from the top end of the first and second chamber. The hinged lids are actuated by buttons on the housing. The lancets are adapted to prick a user's finger in order to reveal blood. A user then positions the blood on the test strip to be absorbed and tested by the glucose meter.

Provided is an integrated sample collection device for self-collection and analytical pre-processing of a fluid sample, such as a blood sample from a user. A housing is configured to be held by a user, such as a single hand of a user. A contact-activated penetrating member is disposed at least partially in the housing and configured to penetrate skin. A capillary tube is disposed at least partially in the housing and configured to collect blood released by the penetrating member that penetrates the skin. A vacuum-assisted blood collection container can be fluidically connected to the capillary tube for receiving at least a portion of the collected blood. One or more stabilizing/pre-processing agents are provided for stabilizing/pre-processing collected blood in the capillary tube, the vacuum-assisted blood storage container, or both.
