Abstract
The invention relates to a cooling device for a reaction chamber for processing a biochip and to a method for controlling said cooling device. The cooling device (50) according to the invention comprises a cooling piston (51), a cooling unit (52) for cooling the cooling piston (51) and a drive (53) for displacing the cooling piston (51) or the reaction chamber in such a manner that the cooling piston can be brought into contact with a wall of the reaction chamber (5) and can be removed again. The cooling device (50) according to the invention allows high cooling rates and a high reproducibility of cooling processes. It has a simple design and can be reliably used in portable devices for examining biochips.
