  • System for and method of changing temperatures of substances
    Patent number: 10076757
    Abstract: A temperature control device for controlling a temperature of a substance to obtain a first temperature and to change to a second temperature has first and second heating blocks and a heating device. The heating device heats the first and second heating blocks to the first and second temperatures, respectively. The temperature control device has a first material opposing the first heating block to define a first space between them arranged to receive the substance and to define a first temperature zone having substantially the first temperature. The temperature control device has a second material opposing the second heating block such as to define a second space between them arranged to receive the substance and define a second temperature zone having substantially the second temperature, the first and second spaces being arranged such that the substance can be moved from the first temperature zone to the second temperature zone.
