Abstract

A storage container for analytical test elements includes a guide mechanism thereupon. The storage container holds a plurality of test elements attached to a tape, with each of the test elements including a test zone thereupon. The storage container is configured to expel individual test elements by passing the tape over the guide mechanism, thereby changing a direction of movement of the tape by the guide mechanism. This action detaches a test element from the tape.
