Abstract
An analysis device that may be used in biochemical analyses includes a module in a first housing, including a chip support, a sensor chip and electrical contacts between the chip and the chip support. The chip is encapsulated so that the electrical contacts are insulated and the sensitive surface of the sensor chip remains accessible to a fluid to be tested. The module and the first housing form an exchangeable applicator or chip card with mocrofluidic components or functions and is inserted into a second housing that has an evaluation unit for reading and analyzing measured data.

35. A module for a decentralized biochemical analysis device, comprising:
-
a sensor chip having a sensitive area and electrical contacts; and
a carrier having contact zones associated with the electrical contacts of said sensor chip and an encapsulation with contact connection between the contact zones and the electrical contacts of said sensor chip to provide electrical access from outside said module, the encapsulation allowing access by a fluid to the sensitive area of said sensor chip. - View Dependent Claims (36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44)
