Just tested with it and the meter accepted no bother wooo clever eh 🙂
 
I've had that happen, when you take one out another one comes half out and gets bent as you shut the lid, sneaky little b***rs.
 
I want to know why they insist on packing the wee devils in the pot test side up so if you get a good grip on one you spoil it. I'm always having to tip them out and turn them over when I start a new pot.

? don't understand why holding one end or the other will spoil the strip. Unless liquid gets into the capillary area it should work fine. The Mylife Pura strips have a side handle so you don't have to touch the working bits.
