Abstract
The present invention provides a container for test strips for the analysis of body fluids, comprising a container body (2) with a circular removal opening (2a), a sealing surface (14) facing the axis (A) of the opening and a stopper (3) for the closure of the removal opening (2a) which has a cover plate (4), a hollow plug (7) attached thereto with an outwardly facing sealing beading (8), a drying agent cell (6) within the hollow plug and a support element (10) by means of which the plug is supported radially inwardly, wherein the support element is so constructed that it abuts the hollow plug in a region axially displaced away from the cover plate (4) with regard to the zenithal line (15) of the sealing beading (8), whereas axially, at the height of the sealing beading (8), between the inner side of the hollow plug and the drying agent cell, even when the stopper (3) is in a position permitting removal, an annular gap (9 ) is present so that the hollow plug (7) is radially inwardly elastically deformable in the region of the sealing beading (8).
