Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/EP95/03580 Sec. 371 Date May 23, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date May 23, 1996 PCT Filed Sep. 12, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/10456 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 11, 1996A miniaturized thermocycler is provided for carrying out thermally controlled biochemical or biological melecular processes, in particular polymerase chain reactions. The aim of the invention is to provide a miniaturized thermocycler which enables such reactions to be carried out more effectively, avoids the problem of parasitic heat absorbers and can be manufactured inexpensively in series. This aim is achieved by virtue of the fact that the sample holder (1) is designed as a series of meanders winding in a plane, the sample holder (1) has a groove in a wall and closed over by a cover, the groove passing alternately through comparable heating zones (2) and cooling zones (3), located at intervals along the groove, as it meanders.
