Zusammenfassung:A heating assembly (20) useful in apparatus for processing reaction cuvettes for replicating specified DNA sequences, such as those using PCR, having a heating element (140) with a heat delivering surface for compressively contacting a pliable fluid-carrying compartment (80,84) of a supported cuvette. The heat delivering surface has a defined passage (154) sized to allow the detection compartment (84) to be situated therein so that the compartment (84) can be efficiently heated. Fluid flow through the compartment (84), however, is not interfered with during the heating process due to the presence of the defined passage (154). In addition, the heat delivering surface can be made from optically transparent materials (150) so that visual detection within the processor can take place.
