Abstract

A container for moisture sensitive test elements comprising a container body (2, 102, 202), an insert (22, 122, 220) fitting in container body, whereby a cavity (18, 118) is created between outer surface of insert wall (24, 124, 240) and inner surface of container body wall (4, 104, 204), and a lid (50, 150, 250) dimensioned to seal container open end when in a closed position, wherein a desiccant material is contained within the cavity (18, 118) between container body wall and insert wall. Insert wall defines a hollow channel (29, 129, 229) which is dimensioned that at least one test element ex-tents from the insert channel facilitating accessibility to an individual test element for the testing of an analyte of interest. Desiccant material includes an indicator whose colour changes when exposed to moisture indicating to a user whether contents therein, i.e. test elements, have been compromised by environmental factors.
