Abstract
The invention concerns a housing box for an electronic chip with biological probes, comprising a flat support device formed by assembling a first lower support and a second upper support, whereof one is equipped with a connector for activating the chip, a plurality of electrical connections extending along the assembly interface and cooperating with electrical connecting means ensuring the continuity of the electrical connections with the chip strip conductors. Protective means are placed in the environment of the chip to obtain an electrical and biological insulating effect for the active part with respect to the input and output contacts of the connector. The invention is useful for molecular analysis, in particular of DNA or any other biological reaction.
