• the support having:
• a flat main face delimited by at least one side;
• a recess opening on the side of the support wherein the sampling device can be inserted, the recess comprising a groove formed on the main face of the support in order to receive the distal portion of the sampling device, the groove being configured to interact with the distal portion in order to fixedly hold it on or in the support;
• the support comprising 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.
