1. A system comprising:
a blister pack comprising a blister cavity to store a reagent; and
an electrically conductive membrane barrier that releases the reagent from the blister cavity upon application of an electric current to the membrane barrier, the membrane barrier comprising:
a thinned region to generate heat and melt when restricting electric current flow of the electric current through the membrane barrier;
a remaining portion that remains when the reagent is released from the blister cavity upon application of the electric current to the membrane barrier; and
a separable gate section defined by the thinned region and separable from the remaining portion of the membrane barrier at the thinned region when the thinned region melts.
