An apparatus (100) for storing and dispensing a test strip includes a container (102) configured to store a stack (104) of test strips. The container maintains appropriate environmental conditions, such as humidity, for storing the test strips. An engaging member (106) is disposed in the container and is adapted to contact one test strip of the stack of test strips. An actuator (108) actuates the engaging member to dispense the one test strip from the container. Since one test strip is dispensed at a time, the remaining test strips are not handled by the user. Accordingly, the unused test strips remain free of contaminants such as naturally occurring oils on the user's hand. |
