The present invention relates to a test-strip storage vial, comprising a vial body, a storing chamber for storing test strips, a push button, and a top-lifted unit; wherein the push button is located at one end of the storing chamber; wherein a top-lifted unit is located at another end of the storing chamber; wherein the push button slides horizontal to remove test strips the storing chamber; wherein the top-lifted unit supports the test strips and lifts the test strips in a vertical direction; wherein the vial body further comprising an upper cover and lower vial body, wherein the lower vial body is detachably connected to the upper cover; wherein the push button is glidingly connected with the upper cover, wherein the top-lifted unit is located in the lower vial body; wherein a push button spring provides horizontal tensile force is disposed between the upper cover and the push button.

Disclosed are a biosensor strip dispensing apparatus and a strip cartridge used by being coupled thereto. The present invention enables opening of a dispensing hole and dispensing of a strip to be performed simultaneously by an open plate and a dispensing plate which move by being interlocked with each other, and thus the present invention can form a biosensor strip dispensing apparatus which enables a strip to be easily dispensed when using the strip, has a great strip protection effect due to sealing of the inner part of a body, and has a compact size. In addition, the present invention enables a strip to be upwardly pressed by an up-and-down elastic unit, while adjusting the elastic force upwardly applied by a friction elastic unit so that the amount of change in a frictional force applied between the uppermost strip and a protrusion is reduced, and thus, the present invention can form a strip cartridge by which a strip is easily dispensed.

A system for picking items from a containerised storage system is described. The items are stored in storage bins in stacks within a framework comprising a grid system disposed above the stacks of bins. Robotic devices are disposed on the grid, the devices acting so as to pick containers from the stacks of bins. The storage system is provided with at least one picking device for picking items from bins and depositing them directly in delivery containers DT.
