Abstract:
1. An analytical testing element supplying device comprising: a container for containing a plurality of analytical testing elements; and a movable body formed with an elongated recess for accommodating one of the analytical testing elements contained in the container; the movable body being moved relative to the container with one analytical testing element accommodated in the recess, so that the analytical testing elements, one at a time, are taken out of the container, wherein the container is provided with a horizontally extending plate that interferes with loose analytical testing elements above a secured testing element accommodated in the recess when the movable body moves relative to the container, wherein the horizontally extending plate includes an interference surface for interfering with the loose testing elements, the interference surface having a portion non-parallel to a longitudinal direction of the recess, wherein when the secured testing element is warped and partly protrudes from the recess, a portion of the horizontally extending plate that is adjacent to the interference surface comes into contact with the secured testing element for flattening the secured testing element into the recess when the movable body moves relative to the container.
