A device for measuring heat flow from a first, second and third sample. The device includes a sample array. The sample array includes a base, a first receptacle, capable of containing the first sample, coupled to the base; a second receptacle, capable of containing the second sample, coupled to the base; a third receptacle, capable of containing a third sample, coupled to the base; a first sensor, in communication with the first receptacle, which detects a first heat flow from the first sample and converts the first heat flow into a first electronic signal; a second sensor, in communication with the second receptacle, which detects a second heat flow from the second sample and converts the second heat flow into a second electronic signal; and a third sensor, in communication with the third receptacle, which detects a third heat flow from the third sample and converts the third heat flow into a third electronic signal. One or more covers are positioned substantially over the first, second and third receptacles, substantially preventing the influx of air into the first, second and third receptacles. A processor, in communication with the first, second and third sensors, receives the first, second and third electronic signal and converts the first, second and third electronic signals into a readable measurement of heat flow in the first, second and third sample.
