Abstract

See full text

An apparatus (100) for performing thermal cycles has a frame (131-134, 137, 147) enclosing a thermal chamber (110) laterally delimited by delimitation walls (103, 154a, 154b) and configured so as to be delimited at the bottom by a reaction holder (104) carrying a plurality of reaction chambers (107) designed to receive chemical reaction substances. A lid (105), of transparent material, is fixed to the frame and delimits the thermal chamber at the top. A source of light radiation (165) is arranged outside the thermal chamber (110) facing the lid (115) and is configured to generate an excitation light radiation. A detector of light radiation (166) is arranged outside the thermal chamber facing the lid and is configured to collect a light radiation emitted in use by the reaction chambers (107). A processor (171) is connected to the detector of light radiation (166) and is configured to detect, in use, a feature of the light radiation emitted.
