  • Thermal cycler apparatus and related methods
    Patent number: 11376599
    Abstract: An apparatus for thermal cycling can transfer heat uniformly and efficiently. The apparatus can be used in a method that reduces condensation on sample wells. The apparatus can also be manufactured to provide uniform configurations. For example, a sample illustratively for polymerase chain reaction (PCR), in each sample well and the components of the embodiment of the thermal cycler apparatus shown at including a well block, a base plate, a layer of adhesive, a peltier device, another layer of adhesive and a heat sink.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2016
    Date of Patent: July 5, 2022
    Assignee: BIOFIRE DEFENSE, LLC
    Inventors: Zackery Kent Evans, Thomas Knight Bodily, Richard David Abbott, Patrick L. Riley
