ABSTRACT:
A microtiter plate system includes an integral heater. In an embodiment, the integral heater includes a heater plate. In another embodiment, the integral heater includes resistive heater wires positioned beneath and/or between the wells of a microtiter plate. In an embodiment, the microtiter plate system includes optically clear well bottoms that permit sensing and measurement of samples through the optically clear well bottoms. In an implementation, an optically clear heater is positioned beneath the optically clear well bottoms. In an alternative implementation, resistive heater wires are positioned between the wells. In an embodiment, the microtiter plate system includes a microtiter plate lid with an integral heater, which can be implemented using a heater plate, resistive wires, and the like. In an embodiment, the microtiter plate system includes an integral non-contact heater, such as a ferrous plate and/or ferrous particles, powder and/or fibers, which generate heat when subjected to an electromagnetic field. An electromagnetic field can be generated by an inductive coil or the like. In an embodiment, the microtiter plate system includes an integral non-contact heater which generates heat when subjected to microwave radiation from a microwave generator. In an embodiment, the microtiter plate system includes an integral thermostat that maintains a substantially constant temperature in the microtiter plate system.
