THERMAL CYCLING SYSTEM COMPRISING TRANSPORT HEATER

摘要

To provide a thermal cycling system allowing an efficient thermal cycling and an optical detection during the diagnostic process a thermal cycling system is proposed, comprising: at least one heating device (10a, 10b) having a transparent substrate (11a, 11b) and a heating element (12a, 12b), and a chamber (30) adapted to receive a sample, the chamber (30) is placed adjacent to at least one heating device (10a, 10b), wherein at least a part of the chamber (30) comprises a transparent area (31) aligned with the transparent substrate (11a, 11b) of the at least one heating device (10a, 10b). Thereby, the speed and efficiency of the thermal system is increased. Moreover, an optical detection of the sample is possible.
