Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A thermal cycling device for performing nucleic acid amplification on a plurality of biological samples positioned in a sample well tray. The thermal cycling device includes a sample block assembly, an optical detection system, and a sample well tray holder configured to hold the sample well tray. The sample block assembly is adapted for translation between a first position permitting the movement of the sample well tray into alignment with sample block assembly, and a second position, upward relative to the first position, where the sample block assembly contacts the sample well tray. A method of performing nucleic acid amplification on a plurality of biological samples positioned in a sample well tray in a thermal cycling device is also provided.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of performing nucleic acid amplification comprising the steps of: loading a plurality of sample wells with a plurality of biological samples; providing a device configured to thermally cycle a sample block assembly, the sample block assembly comprising a sample block and a heat sink; placing the loaded plurality of sample wells onto a sample well receiving region of a sample well holder; moving the sample well holder and loaded plurality of sa…
