Abstract
This invention concerns an apparatus for chemical or biological analysis or treatment in situ comprising (i) a microsystem for investigation of a substrate and/or for delivery of active agents in a substrate and (ii) a flexible rod to one end of which the microsystem is attached and the other end of which is intended for the control of said microsystem. The microsystem is advantageously of the type comprising a support on the surface of which predefined regions are arrayed, each containing different chemical or biological substances for investigation or treatment of the substrate where the microsystem is brought in contact thanks to the flexible rod.
