Definitions
- the present invention relates to a device for carrying out chemical or biological reactions, with a reaction vessel receiving body for receiving reaction vessels, the reaction vessel receiving body having a plurality of recesses arranged in a regular grid for receiving reaction vessels, a heating device for heating the reaction vessel receiving body, and a cooling device for cooling the reaction vessel receiving element.
- thermal cyclers or thermal cycler devices and are used to generate certain temperature cycles, that is to say that predetermined temperatures are set in the reaction vessels and predetermined time intervals are maintained.
- Such a device is known from US 5,525,300.
- This device has four reaction vessel receiving bodies, which are each formed with recesses arranged in a regular grid.
- the grid of the recesses corresponds to a grid of reaction vessels known from standardized microtiter plates, so that microtiter plates with their reaction vessels can be inserted into the recesses.
- the heating and cooling devices of one of the reaction vessel receiving bodies are designed in such a way that a temperature gradient extending across the reaction vessel receiving body can be generated. This means that during a temperature cycle in the individual reaction vessels temperatures can be achieved. This makes it possible to carry out certain experiments at different temperatures at the same time.
- This temperature gradient is used to determine the optimal denaturation temperature, the optimal annealing temperature and the optimal elongation temperature of a PCR reaction.
- the same reaction mixture is introduced into the individual reaction vessels and then the temperature cycles necessary for carrying out the PCR reaction are carried out.
- Such a temperature cycle comprises heating the reaction mixtures to the denaturation temperature, which is usually in the range from 90 ° -95 ° C., cooling to the annealing temperature, which is usually in the range from 40 ° -60 ° C., and heating to the elongation temperature, which is usually in the range of 70 ° -75 ° C.
- Such a cycle is repeated several times, whereby a predetermined DNA sequence is amplified.
- a temperature gradient can be set, different but predetermined temperatures are set in the individual reaction vessels. After the cycles have been processed, the reaction products of the individual reaction vessels can be used to determine the temperatures at which the PCR reaction delivers the optimal result for the user. The result can be e.g. be optimized with regard to the product quantity as well as the product quality.
- the annealing temperature at which the primers are deposited has a strong influence on the result.
- the elongation temperature can also have an advantageous or disadvantageous effect on the result.
- the attachment of the bases is accelerated, and the probability of errors with a higher temperature increases.
- the lifespan of the polymerase is shorter at a higher elongation temperature.
- a thermal cycler device in which a temperature gradient can be set, makes the determination of the desired temperatures considerably easier, since a reaction mixture in a single thermal cycler device direction can be subjected to cycles with different temperatures at the same time.
- Another essential parameter for the success of a PCR reaction is the length of time at the individual temperatures for denaturing, annealing and elongation and the rate of change in temperature.
- these parameters cannot be varied in a series of tests on a single reaction vessel holder. If one wants to test different dwell times and rates of change, this can be carried out in several test series either in one thermal cycler device in succession or in several thermal cycler devices simultaneously.
- thermocycler devices with several reaction vessel receptacles, each of which is provided with separate cooling, heating and control devices (see US 5,525,300).
- the reaction mixture to be tested must be distributed over several microtiter plates in order to be tested independently of one another.
- thermocycler devices or a multiblock thermocycler device To determine the optimal residence times and rates of temperature change, either several thermocycler devices or a multiblock thermocycler device are required, or one must test one after the other in several test series.
- the purchase of multiple thermocycler devices or a multi-block thermocycler device is expensive and it takes a long time to carry out several successive series of tests.
- handling is complex if only a part of the reaction vessels of several microtiter plates is filled and these are each tested or optimized in a separate test series. This is particularly disadvantageous in the case of automatically operating devices in which the reaction mixtures are subjected to further work processes, since then several microtiter plates have to be handled separately.
- No. 5,819,842 discloses a device for the individual, controlled heating of several samples.
- This device has a plurality of flat heating elements which are arranged in a grid-like manner on a work surface.
- a cooling device is formed below the heating elements and extends over all heating elements.
- a specially designed sample plate is placed on the work surface.
- This sample plate has a grid plate which is covered with a film on the underside. The samples are introduced into the recesses in the grid plate. In this device, the samples lie only on the individual heating elements, separated by the film. This results in an immediate heat transfer.
- this device has the disadvantage that no commercially available microtiter plate can be used.
- the invention is based on the object of developing the above-mentioned device in such a way that the disadvantages described above are avoided and the parameters of the PCR method can be optimized very flexibly.
- the invention has the features specified in claim 1. Advantageous refinements of this are specified in the further claims.
- the invention is characterized in that the reaction vessel receiving body is subdivided into several segments, the individual segments are thermally decoupled and each segment is assigned a heating device which can be controlled independently of one another.
- the individual segments of the device can be set independently of one another to different temperatures. This enables not only different temperature levels to be set in the segments, but also keeping them for different lengths or changing them at different rates of change.
- the device according to the invention thus allows optimization of all physical parameters critical for a PCR method, the optimization process being able to be carried out on a single reaction vessel receiving body in which a microtiter plate can be used.
- the thermal cycler device according to the invention is particularly suitable for optimizing the multiplex PCR method, in which several different primers are used.

- a cover 17 is pivotally attached to the housing 2, in which further heating elements 18 in the form of Peltier elements, heating foils or semiconductor heating elements can be arranged.
- the heating elements 18 form cover heating elements which are each assigned to a segment 8 and are individually connected to the first control device 13, so that each heating element 18 can be controlled individually.
- the first operating mode all segments are set to the same temperature, which means that the same temperature cycles are carried out on all segments.

- the segments 8 In the third operating mode, only some of the segments are controlled.
- the segments 8 have side edges 20 in plan view (FIGS. 3, 4, 6 to 9).
- the segments 8 adjacent to a controlled segment 8 on its side edges are not activated.
- the segments 8 themselves form a regular grid (FIGS. 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8)
- the controlled segments are distributed as in a checkerboard pattern.

- FIGS. 2 and 3 A second embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 2 and 3.
- the basic structure corresponds to that of FIG. 1, which is why the same parts are provided with the same reference numerals.
- the second exemplary embodiment differs from the first exemplary embodiment in that the side edges 20 of the segments 8 adjacent to the side walls 4 of the housing 2 engage in a groove 21 running around the inner surface of the side walls 4 and are fixed therein, for example by gluing.
- the individual segment parts 10 are spatially fixed, which ensures that, despite the formation of the gaps between the segment parts 10, all Action vessel holder 12 are arranged in the grid of the reaction vessels of a microtiter plate.
- the side walls 4 of the housing 2 are formed from a non-heat-conducting material.
- This exemplary embodiment can also be modified such that the groove 21 is introduced in a frame which is formed separately from the housing 2. During manufacture, the frame and the segments inserted therein form a separately manageable part that is glued onto the heating and cooling devices.
- a third embodiment is shown schematically in FIGS. 4 and 5.

- the hook elements 23 of adjacent segments 8 are arranged offset from one another.
- the struts 22 thus form a grid, in the openings of which a segment 8 can be inserted.
- This type of position fixation is very advantageous since the interfaces between the segments 8 and the struts 22 are very small, as a result of which the heat transfer via the struts 22 is correspondingly low. In addition, this arrangement can be easily implemented even in the confined spaces between adjacent segment parts.
- reaction vessel receptacle bodies 9 schematically show a top view of reaction vessel receptacle bodies 9, which represent further modifications of the device according to the invention.
- the individual segments 8 are connected to one unit by means of webs 24 made of a heat-insulating material.
- the struts 22 are arranged between the side edges 20 of the base plates 11 and fixed to them, for example, by gluing.

- reaction vessel receiving body 9 shows a reaction vessel receiving body 9 with six segments 8 which are rectangular in plan view and a segment 8a formed in the shape of a double cross from three crossing rows of reaction vessel holders 12.
- the six rectangular segments 8 are each a row or column of reaction vessel holders spaced from the next rectangular segment. This segmentation is particularly advantageous for the third operating mode explained above, since the rectangular segments 8 do not touch and can therefore be controlled at the same time as desired, with only the segment 8a in the form of a double cross not being controlled.
- the segments 8 of the reaction vessel receptacle body 9 are made of a highly thermally conductive metal, such as aluminum.
- the above as non- Heat-conducting materials or materials referred to as heat-insulating are either plastics or ceramics.
- FIG. 11 Another exemplary embodiment of the device according to the invention is shown in FIG. 11.
- the individual segments 8b of the reaction vessel receiving body 9 are fixed by means of a clamping frame 25 (FIG. 10).
- the tensioning frame 25 is formed in a lattice shape from longitudinal struts 26 and transverse struts 27, the struts 26, 27 spanning openings.

- a separately controllable Peltier element 7 and a cooling body 30 extending over the area of all segments 8b are arranged below the segments 8b.
- a heat-conducting film 31 is arranged between the heat sink 30 and the Peltier element 7 and between the Peltier element 7 and the respective segment 8b.
- the heat sink 30 is provided with bores through which the screw bolts 29 extend, which are each fixed with a nut 32 on the side of the heat sink 30 facing away from the reaction vessel receiving body 9.
- the tenter 25 is made of a non-heat-conducting material, in particular POM or polycarbonate. It thus allows the segments 8b of the reaction vessel receptacle body 9 to be fixed, the individual elements between the segments 8b and the heat sink 30 being under tension, so that good heat transfer between the individual elements is ensured in the vertical direction. Since the stenter itself is thermally conductive, the heat transfer between two adjacent segments 8b is kept low. To further reduce the heat transfer between two adjacent segments, those in contact with the segments 8b can be used Surfaces of the tensioning frame 25 may be provided with narrow webs, so that air gaps are formed between the tensioning frame 25 and the segments 8b in the areas adjacent to the webs.
- a so-called heat pipe 33 is installed between two rows of reaction vessel holders 12.
- a heat pipe is sold, for example, by THERMACORE INTERNATIONAL, Inc., USA. It consists of a gas-tight jacket in which there is only a small amount of fluid.
- the pressure in the heat pipe is so low that the liquid fluid is in a state of equilibrium between the liquid and the gaseous aggregate state and consequently evaporates on a warmer section of the heat pipe and condenses on a cooler section. This compensates for the temperature between the individual sections.
- water or freon is used as the fluid.
- FIG. 1 Another embodiment of the thermal cycler device 1 according to the invention is shown in FIG. This thermal cycler device 1 is configured similarly to that shown in FIG. 11, which is why the same parts are designated with the same reference numerals.
- the segments 8c of this thermal cycler device 1 have no heat pipes. Instead of heat pipes, a temperature compensation plate 34 is provided in the area below the segments 8c. These temperature compensation plates 34 are sheet-like elements, the area of which corresponds to the base area of one of the segments 8c. These temperature compensation plates 34 are hollow bodies with a small amount of fluid and work according to the same functional principle as the heat pipes. This in turn ensures that there are no temperature fluctuations within a segment 8c. However, the temperature compensation plate can also be made of very good heat-conducting materials, such as copper. Additional heating and / or cooling elements such as heating foils, heating coils or Peltier elements can be integrated into such a temperature compensation plate. The heating and cooling elements support homogeneity and allow faster heating and / or cooling rates. A Peltier element, which generally does not have a uniform temperature distribution, is preferably combined with a flat heating element.
