Abstract

The invention concerns an analytical system in which at least two modules are in contact with one another by a connecting plug, and a connecting plug which is suitable for connecting modules. When two modules are connected by the connecting plug a part of the plug extends partially underneath the bottoms of the modules such that the plug connection is secured by the dead weight of the modules.
