The reaction vessel receiving element has one or more segments each of which has a plurality of reaction vessel holders. Each of the one or more temperature equalization plates is provided in the area beneath one of the one or more segments, is a flat element with a surface corresponding to the basic surface of the segment beneath which it is provided, is a hollow body with a small amount of fluid, and works on the same principle as a heat pipe. At least one Peltier element is provided in the area beneath each of the one or more segments. The cooling element extends over the area of the one or more segments. |
