The invention relates to a test holder for fixing the position of a microchip in a microchip contactor, having a base frame and a pressing unit, which is connected to the base frame such that it can be pivoted open or shut and which comprises a pressure body designed to interact with the microchip. In order to press the microchip all over with a uniform pressure onto the contactor, even if the microchip is inclined with respect to the pressing means when it is contacted with the contactor, the invention provides that the pressure body may be tilted about a first and a second tilting axis.
