Zusammenfassung:	The present disclosure relates to the field of liquid handling and dispensing systems in combination with additive manufacturing. In particular, it relates to temperature-controlled units, i.e. dispensing heads and source well holders, for receiving, holding and releasing liquid and semi-liquid material, liquid-handling and dispensing systems, apparatuses and methods for applying temperature-sensitive liquids. A temperature-controlled unit (1) comprises at least one Peltier element (3), each Peltier element having opposite first and second surfaces (4a, 4b). The unit (1) further comprises at least one cooling element (5). The at least one Peltier element (3) is arranged to have each respective first surface (4a) facing a reservoir block (2) of the unit (1). The at least one cooling element (5) is thermally connected to the Peltier element (3) and arranged to transfer heat generated by the at least one Peltier element (3) and dissipate the transferred heat away from the at least one Peltier element (3).
