THERMAL CYCLER AND METHOD OF THERMAL CYCLE Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B01L7/00 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: thermal cycler contains holder, made with possibility of holding bioreservoir filled with reaction mixture and liquid, which has smaller specific weight that reaction mixture, and does not mix with reaction mixture. Bioreservoir contains channel, in which reaction mixture moves. Thermal cycler also contains heating unit, made with possibility of heating liquid in the first part of channel, when bioreservoir is in holder, and drive unit, made with possibility of rotating holder and heating unit around rotation axis to switch between first position and second position. First position is such that first part of channel is located below second part of channel with respect to direction of gravity, when bioreservoir is in holder. Second position is such that said second part of channel is located below first part of channel with respect to direction of gravity, when bioreservoir is in holder. Drive unit is made with possibility of holding holder and heating unit in first position for first period of time and holding holder and heating unit in second position for second period of time.

EFFECT: facilitation of control over heating time period.
