ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system for temperature control within an automatic biological analyzer, the automatic analyzer essentially comprising:support, guidance, and step-by-step transport means for reaction cuvettes on a path comprising a predetermined number of positions,a support turntable for analyte samples,a support turntable for reactants, means for taking defined quantities of samples and reactants and for injecting the same into the reaction cuvettes,means for washing the cuvettes,means for optical reading of the determination results and a computerized control system which permits carrying out pre-programmed analysis cycles.It consists in the fact that the temperature control system is connected to the lower part of the support turntable for the analyte samples, said system comprising within itself:at least one inlet air deflector,at least one outlet air deflector,a circular air transfer path positioned between the inlet deflector and the outlet deflector, andmeans for generating circulating air in the circular path,thereby permitting a reduction in the thermal variation between the inlet air and outlet air temperatures within the temperature control system.The invention finds a preferential application in the diagnostic field.
