Abstract: A chip holder for holding a fluidic chip and for providing a fluid connection thereto has a guide adapted such that the fluidic chip can be slid into the chip holder in a guiding direction. The chip holder further has a fastener adapted to press a fluidic connection toward the fluidic chip, such that the fluidic chip is fixed within the chip holder. The guide and the fastener are adapted such that the guiding direction and the direction in which the fluidic connection is pressed exhibit an angle in the range between 45° and 135°, including 45° and 135°. A fluidic system has a chip holder and a fluidic chip inserted therein. A chip holder system has a chip holder and an extension module attached thereto such that the extension module is in contact with the fluidic chip, when the fluidic chip is inserted in the chip holder.
