  • Temperature regulating block with receivers
    Patent number: 6210958
    Abstract: A temperature regulating block for lab thermostatting systems has a receiving side with two kinds of seats in the form of differently shaped recesses to implement large-area contact-making seating of filled lower zones of two differently shaped kinds of receptacles filled with sample liquid. At least one temperature regulator is in contact with the block. The two kinds of seats are arranged in a regular, two-dimensional grid such that a seat of one kind in each case is located between four seats of the other kind.
