Abstract (en)
Liquid samples (11-20) which need to be raised to a set temperature within a fixed short interval are moved through e.g. an infrared radiation zone (2). Inert beads of material of thermal conductivity greater than 0.6W/mK are added to the samples in order to accelerate the heating rate. The temperature of each sample is monitored (3) and may be used to control the heater. Independent claims are included for the method of increasing sample heating rate by addition of heat absorption material, and for the use of infrared heating.
