TEST ELEMENT RETENTION DIVIDERS

A resealable container (20) comprising: a housing (21); a lid (36) coupled to the housing (21); and a basket (24) received within the housing (21) and including side walls (56) defining an interior space (28), and a retainer (64, 92, 128) extending over at least a portion of the interior space and configured to support at least one test element (80) in at least one of a side-to-side direction and a front-to-back direction within the basket (24); wherein the retainer includes a plurality of fingers (68); wherein the fingers (68) extend to a parting line (72) and are arranged on opposing sides of the parting line; wherein the plurality of fingers (68) is configured such that when a test element (80) is loaded into the container, fingers that are contacted by the test element are deflected by the test element inwards towards the interior space thereby exerting a force on the side of the test element to support the test element in a side-to-side direction; and fingers that are not contacted by the test element are not deflected by the test element thereby providing front-to-back support for the test element.
