SAMPLE COVER EQUIPPED WITH HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT APPARATUS NOT DEPENDING ON SAMPLE SIZE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and a method with which various different samples, especially samples held in a reaction container, a plate or a block having various heights or various height tolerances can be thermally treated in the same apparatus in various experiments.;SOLUTION: The apparatus and the method control the temperature of at least one sample. The apparatus includes at least (a) a means for holding at least one sample, (b) a means for heating and/or cooling at least one sample and (c) a means for covering at least one sample. The means for covering at least one sample comprises at least one movable contact area and a first and a second means for fixing at least the single movable contact area in at least one direction related to the sample. The first fixing means is engaged and connected to the corresponding second fixing means.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
