Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1127619A2] An assembly for cycling vials of reaction mixtures through a series of temperature excursions, comprising: a sample block (36) for receiving vials of reaction mixtures; a plurality of thermoelectric devices (60); a heatsink (34); a clamping mechanism positioned so as to clamp said thermoelectric devices between said sample block and said heatsink; a heater (74) positioned around the perimeter of said sample block; and a pin (24) having a first end and a second end, said first end in close contact with said sample block and said second end in close contact with said heatsink so as to provide a thermal path between said sample block and said heatsink. <IMAGE>
