Test sensors and test sensor packaging that restricts ingress of moisture and/or light and apparatus comprising a holder for test sensor packaging, methods of manufacture and use. The test sensor package comprises at least one test sensor having first 28 and second 29 major surfaces comprising: a proximal portion 12; an intermediate portion 14 for receiving a sample; a separable distal portion 16, movable with respect to the proximal and intermediate portions of the test sensor, the separable distal portion comprising a handle portion; at least one force transmitting connection member between the handle portion and at least one of the proximal portion and intermediate portion; and an anchor cover leaf 24 extending over at least part of one of the major surfaces of the test sensor configured to anchor the test sensor, whereby, in use, a user can grip and pull the handle portion, firstly, to move the separable distal portion with respect to the remainder of the test sensor so as to detach it from the anchor cover leaf and, secondly, to exert a force on the remainder of the test sensor via the at least one force transmitting connection member so as to detach the remainder of the test sensor from the anchor cover leaf. |
