1. A biosensor holder device, comprising:
a body;
a set of printed circuit board (PCB) mounting features attached to the body and extending from one side of the body;
a sensor guiding opening on a side of the body, wherein the body comprises a groove that extends from the sensor guiding opening and is sized to accommodate a sensor; and
an electrically conductive material extending between the groove and a distal end of a first PCB mounting feature of the set of PCB mounting features,
wherein the sensor guiding opening is configured to receive a first portion of the sensor and guide the first portion of the sensor below the body and into the groove,
wherein the groove is configured to retain a second portion of the sensor below the body, and
wherein the electrically conductive material is positioned in the groove to electrically couple with the second portion of the sensor.
