Abstract: The invention concerns a device for analyzing at least an analyte, comprising a container and a biochip defining together at least a section, attached to the container by a suitable adhesive. The biochip comprises a support, for example polyhedral, comprising an active face including an active surface, whereon are distributed and bound a plurality of ligands) to be analysed, at least a face opposite to the active face, and a transverse peripheral strip linking the active and opposite faces, comprising for example several edges. The invention is characterized in that the adhesive fixing the biochip to the container links, on one side the transverse strip of the biochip, practically excluding any other part, face or surface of the biochip, to the container, and the adhesive completely exposes the peripheral zone of the active face of the biochip.

Abstract: The digital force sensor (1) includes a measuring cell (2) which is able to be deformed elastically, the deformation of said cell (2) directly resulting from the force with which a robot arm approaches a discrete electronic component (11) in a magazine, then mounts it onto a printed circuit, and digital means (3) for measuring a displacement representative of the deformation of said cell (2), then supplying in response to said displacement a digital signal corresponding to the direct measurement of the force with which the robot arm approaches, then mounts the electronic component onto the printed circuit.
