A strip ejector removes a longitudinal test strip ( 12 ), which has at least one test field for wetting by a fluid, from a measuring device that optically or amperemetrically measures such test strip. The ejector includes a clamping jaw holder ( 14 ), and at least two clamping jaws ( 18 ) arranged on the clamping jaw holder at a distance from one another. The jaws are moveable relative to one another between a freeing position in which the spacing between their clamping surfaces is larger than the width of a test strip ( 12 ), and a clamping position in which their clamping faces respectively engage parallel edges ( 22 ) of the test strip ( 12 ). An actuating element ( 24 ) moveably supported on the clamping jaw holder ( 14 ) has at least one control surface 30 arranged at an angle to the movement direction of the actuating element. The control surface cooperates with a countersurface ( 32 ) formed on a least one of the clamping jaws ( 18 ) to move the clamping jaw ( 18 ) from its freeing position to its clamping position upon a movement of the actuating element ( 24 ).
