A heat removal module slice constructed to service a row of reaction vessels, the slice being in the form of a block of thermally conductive material having a row of reaction stations at an edge thereof, at one end thereof a liquid entry manifold and at the other end thereof a liquid exhaust manifold; and a heat exchanger liquid channel adjacent the reaction stations and extending between the two manifolds. The slice is constructed to form, with a plurality of similar slices, a heat reduction module for incorporation in a reaction, typically a PCR reaction, apparatus and process. |
