ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a thermal cycling cuvette constructed with an improved sample fluid thermal time constant. The fluid surface-to-volume ratio, and the cuvette thermal path length and thermal resistance of at least one of the walls that provides a major surface of contact, are selected to provide such a thermal time constant that is no greater than about 10 seconds for a cuvette volume no greater than about 200 .mu.l. Also included in the cuvette are means permitting the introduction and removal of liquid into and from the cuvette. A preferred construction permits ready and substantially complete removal of the liquid.
