The invention relates to a rapid diagnostic strip comprising a moisture-absorbing material and to the blister packaging thereof. According to the invention, one of the components of the general structure of the strip, such as the plastic support (1), comprises a moisture-absorbing agent together with one or more polymers, said agent preventing moisture from affecting the test. The strip can be packaged in a blister pack comprising a base sheet (7) which is provided with cavity-forming structures, each cavity (9) containing a rapid diagnostic strip or test (5). In addition to the aforementioned base sheet (7), the pack also comprises a cover sheet (8) which seals the latter by means of thermofusion, thereby hermetically sealing each of the cavities. |
