Abstract

Die Erfindung betrifft ein handliches Laboratoriumsgerät zum wahlweisen Heizen oder Kühlen von Proben. Als thermisches Element dient ein Block von einem oder mehreren Peltierelementen, der durch Umkehr der Stromrichtung nach Belieben zum Kühlen oder Heizen benützt werden kann. Der eine Pol der Peltierelemente steht in thermischem Kontakt mit einem Metallblock; der Gegenpol ist mit einem Wärme­ austauscher thermisch verbunden Der Metallblock, mit einer heiz- oder kühlbaren horizontalen Arbeitsfläche versehen, ist vom Wärmeaustauscher durch eine Isolationsschicht getrennt und auch auf seinen nicht benützten Aussenflächen durch einen Isolationsmantel geschützt. Die Gefässe mit den zu heizenden bezw. zu kühlenden Proben können gegebenenfalls auch in auswechselbaren, mit passenden Oeffnungen versehenen Arbeitsmoduln untergebracht werden, die eine auf die Arbeitsfläche zu stellende ebene Kontaktfläche aufweisen. The invention relates to a handy laboratory device for optional heating or cooling of samples. As a thermal Element serves a block of one or more Peltier elements by reversing the direction of the current Can be used for cooling or heating. The one Pole of the Peltier elements is in thermal contact with a metal block; the opposite pole is with a warmth exchanger thermally connected The metal block, with a heatable or coolable horizontal work surface separated from the heat exchanger by an insulation layer and also on his unused outside surfaces by one Insulated jacket protected. The vessels with the ones to be heated respectively. samples to be cooled may also be in interchangeable, with matching openings Work modules are housed, one on the Have a flat contact surface to be placed on the work surface.

Das Gerät besteht aus drei voneinander getrennten Teilen, dem eigentlichen Heiz- und Kühlblock, den Moduln zur Aufnahme der Probengefässe und der elektrischen Speise- und Steuereinheit. Die letztere besitzt ein getaktetes Netzteil für die Speisung der Peltier-Elemente und einen elektroni­ schen Steuerteil, der gegebenenfalls mit einem Mikrocomputer für die Programmierung von Temperaturzyklen verbunden werden kann. The device consists of three separate units Parts, the actual heating and cooling block, the modules for Inclusion of the sample vessels and the electrical feed and Control unit. The latter has a clocked power supply for feeding the Peltier elements and an electroni control part, which may be with a microcomputer for programming temperature cycles can.

Das Heiz- und Kühlgerät eignet sich einerseits für die Arbeit im biologischen, biochemischen und genetischen Laboratorium, bei welcher oft Temperaturzyklen durchgeführt werden müssen, die teils oberhalb und teils unterhalb der Raumtemperatur verlaufen, anderseits aber auch ausserhalb des Laboratoriums, z.B. für die Arbeit an, bezw. den Transport von temperaturlabilen Proben in mobilen Einheiten, wie z.B. in Autos, Eisenbahnen und Flugzeugen. The heating and cooling device is suitable for work in biological, biochemical and genetic Laboratory where temperature cycles are often performed have to be, some above and some below the Room temperature, but also outside the Laboratory, e.g. for working on or the Transport of temperature-unstable samples in mobile units, e.g. in cars, trains and airplanes.
