<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thermo-cycling device for subjecting samples to a thermal cycling process, in particular to a polymerase chain reaction.SOLUTION: The present invention is related to a thermo-cycling device 10, comprising at least one sample holder 11, at least one thermal reference 12 and at least one heating and/or cooling device 13, which is arranged between the sample holders and the thermal reference. The heating and/or cooling device is in thermally conductive contact with the sample holders and with the thermal reference. Furthermore, the device comprises at least one reference heating and/or cooling device 14 for maintaining the temperature of the thermal reference at a predetermined temperature level during cycling and a heat sink 15 which is in thermally conductive contact with the reference heating and/or cooling device 14.</p> |
