Abstract

A cartridge for storing a plurality of stacked chips having an exit for taking out the end dry analytical film chip one by one which are pushed toward the exit, and a flexible engager for inhibiting the discharge of the end chip. The exit and the engager are provided at an end portion of a side wall of the casing, the opening being provided at an end of the casing, and the flexible engager has a strength capable of releasing the end chip from the conveyor but is also capable of holding the second end, wherein the exit and the engager are provided at an end portion of a side wall of the casing, the opening being provided at an end of the casing. The engager is capable of holding the second end chip, or wherein the exit and the engager are provided at an end portion of the casing, and the engager is a non-flexible engager for releasing the end chip by its deformation occurring by the pull of the conveyor through the second end through the release of the lowermost end chip, and the exit also functions as the opening. The cartridge has a compact size and ejects only one chip while preventing the simultaneous ejection of two chips.
