Claim:
A test holder for at least one microchip, comprising a base frame having at least one central opening, which encloses at least one receptacle for the microchip, and having a pressing means, which is connected to the base frame by way of a pivot bearing such that it can be pivoted open about a pivot axis in the direction away from the central opening and pivoted shut in the direction towards the central opening, wherein the pressing means is connected tiltably to the base frame by way of a first tilting bearing, which comprises a first tilting axis extending perpendicularly to the pivot axis, the pressing means comprising at least one pressure body arranged over the receptacle for the microchip when the pressing means is pivoted shut, which pressure body is mounted in the pressing means by way of a second tilting bearing so as to be tiltable about a second tilting axis, the second tilting bearing comprises two connecting pins, by means of which the pressure body is connected tiltably to a lid frame of the pressing means, and further comprising a closing mechanism which presses the lid frame towards the base frame when the pressing means is in the closed state, the pressure exerted by the closing mechanism being distributed symmetrically about the first tilting axis.
