Abstract
An apparatus and method for a thermal system comprising a top plate having a non-metal material wherein the top plate comprises a plurality of heating wells, each heating well sized to accommodate a plurality of sample tubes containing samples. A bottom plate engages to the top plate to form a heat block. A plurality of heat transfer pins extend from the bottom plate to the top plate. The non-metal material of the top plate may be molded to engage the heat transfer pins and increase heating efficiency. The invention also includes a heat block that includes a thermal plate comprising a thermally conductive material, the thermal plate including a major upper surface having a substantially planar area and a plurality of heating wells for accepting a plurality of sample tubes; and a heating plate engaging the thermal plate and contacting the major upper surface of the thermal plate. The heat block may be used for efficient thermal cycling of biological samples.
