A closure () for closing an opening of a container () for storing and removing sterile or moisture-sensitive media has a closure cap (), which can be connected to the container in a fluid-tight manner, and a piercable, self-closing septum (), which closes at least one removal opening () in the closure cap () in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the closure () has a rotatably mounted protective cap () with a cutout (). The cutout () is arranged off-centre in the protective cap () and the closure cap () has off centre a closure region () which is not impinged by the at least one removal opening () and is larger than the cutout () in the protective cap (). The closure () has a latching mechanism, which is suitable for arranging the protective cap () in relation to the closure cap () in such a way that the cutout () in the protective cap () is aligned either in line with the or a removal opening () in the closure cap () or at a distance from the removal opening or openings (). The closure () has at least one tamper-proof means of protection.

A container () for a plurality of test strips, in particular for strip-shaped indicator sticks, has a housing lower part () and a housing upper part (), which can be brought into engagement with the housing lower part () in a positive manner, where the housing upper part () has an opening with a sealing flap () mounted in a pivotable manner, where the housing lower part () has a plurality of projecting snap-in elements (), which can be brought into engagement with matched recesses () of the housing upper part (), and where the sealing flap () is connected along its periphery to the housing upper part () by means of at least one connecting strip which can be torn off. The snap-in elements () project by more than one wall thickness of the housing upper part () in the region around the recesses (). The sealing flap () preferably has a tear-off connecting strip on each of two opposite sides. The sealing flap () is preferably mounted in a pivotable manner on the housing lid () of the housing upper part () and forms a corner () of the housing upper part (). The length of the sealing flap () along the housing lid () is preferably less than the length of the sealing flap () along the side wall () of the housing upper part ().
