Abstract

Method and device for the analysis of biological samples are disclosed, wherein the device comprises a reader with an electrically conductive housing, which is electrically coupled to the circuitry inside the housing. This shall avoid damage to the circuitry by reducing the possibility of an electrostatic potential between the housing touched by a user and the circuitry.
