Support for a biological species sample

A support for a biological species sample collected on a sampling device, the sampling device comprising:

• a gripping rod;
• a capture element having a capture surface for receiving the biological species sample, the capture element being assembled with the gripping rod in order to form a distal portion of the sampling device;
• wherein the support comprises:
• a flat main face delimited by at least one side of the support;
• a recess formed in the support, the recess consisting of a groove formed on the main face of the support that extends to an opening on a side of the support delimiting the main face thereof, wherein the groove is configured to:
• receive the distal portion of the sampling device via the opening, and interact with the distal portion of the sampling device in order to hold the distal portion of the sampling device in the support;
• and
• a member for attaching a wall on the main face of the support to form a reservoir above at least a portion of the groove.
