APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING TEMPERATURE OF REACTION MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C12Q1/68 C12M1/38 C12P19/34 G01N22/00 G01N23/00 G01N33/50 B01L3/00 B01L7/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: apparatus for controlling temperature of a reaction mixture contained in a reaction vessel comprises: an infrared source for exposing the reaction vessel to radiation in order to heat the reaction mixture, a temperature sensor for measuring temperature, which is an indicator of temperature of the reaction mixture and a controller for controlling the radiation source in accordance with temperature of the reaction mixture in order to selectively heat the reaction mixture. The method of controlling temperature of the reaction mixture involves determining temperature of the reaction mixture using information obtained from the temperature sensor, controlling the radiation source which is designed to expose the reaction vessel to radiation with subsequent heating of the reaction mixture, wherein the radiation source is controlled by the controller in accordance with temperature of the reaction mixture, as a result of which said temperature is controlled.

EFFECT: improved control of temperature of reaction mixtures, enabling real-time analysis of a reaction taking place in a vessel and with sufficiently high efficiency.
