APPARATUS FOR HEATING AND COOLING DEEP WELL PHARMACEUTICAL MICROPLATES

摘要

An apparatus for uniformly heating and cooling deep well pharmaceutical microplates when used in fluid connection with a heater/cooler water pump. The apparatus comprises a housing having a divider plate extending transversely through the medial portion of the housing and that defines a matrix of apertures therethrough. A plurality of vertically extending tubes are nestingly mounted within a corresponding plurality of the matrix of apertures with the lower end of each tube mounted in a corresponding aperture and the top end extending upwardly from the divider plate and through the open top of the housing. A fluid inlet into the upper chamber of the housing defined by the divider plate, and fluid outlet from the lower chamber of the housing defined by the divider plate is provided.
