Abstract

Storage container for test strips with a holder in which the test strips are contained and which is closed by a lid. The lid has an elastic seal on its inner side which, when the storage container is closed presses against a rim of the holder preventing an invasion of moisture into the storage container. Holder and lid are connected to one another by a hinge. When the storage container is closed, the seal is deformed and pushes the lid after release of a locking means such that the storage container is at least partially opened.
