Abstract: A thermally conductive microplate made of thermoplastic material, comprising a microplate body (150) having at least 96 wells (151) arranged in the microplate body (150), the microplate body (150) having a flat microplate bottom (154), and each well (151) having at least one well wall (152) and a planar well bottom (153) which is aligned with a well bottom plane (200) shared by all well bottoms (153) and has a bottom thickness of at most 1000 ?m. Also disclosed is a method for producing the thermally conductive microplates. The microplate body (150) is preferably arranged in a frame carrier (300), in particular is welded, adhesively bonded or riveted thereto. Having high thermal conductivity, upright-format thermally conductive microplates are optimised for automated processing in analysis and synthesis methods that are temperature sensitive and based on temperature change.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system comprising at least one disposable comprising one or more wells in a body, wherein the wells are capable of acting as vessel for one or more chemical, biochemical or molecular biological reactions requiring one or more prescribed reaction temperatures according to a prescribed protocol, said body comprising a flat bottom side building a first heating surface capable of homogeneously conducting heat into the wells and a flat upper side comprising well openings sealed by means of a transparent sealing foil building a second heating surface capable of homogeneously conducting heat in the wells, said body being arranged in a rigid frame support; one or more separate tempering units TUx, each tempering unit TUx comprising at least one first temperature-controlled plates with a planar seat to conform to the flat bottom side of the disposable; transport means comprising a carrier in which the disposable is placed and a moving mechanism for moving the disposable into and/or out of th
