A method of applying a temporary seal to a reaction vessel for use in a water-based thermal cycler is provided. The temporary seal is achieved by placing a compression pad against an operative surface of the reaction vessels, and applying pressure to compress the pad against the operative surface of the vessel using another reaction vessel to apply the pressure. An apparatus for performing this method is also provided. The invention also provides a compressed vessel sandwich, comprising a first reaction vessel, a second reaction vessel, and a compression pad, arranged such that the operative surface of the first reaction vessel and the operative surface of the second reaction vessel are arranged face to face, are sealed, and are seperated by compression pad. |
