CA 2614246

Sample processing systems and methods of using those systems for processing sample materials located in sample processing devices are disclosed. The sample processing systems include a rotating base plate on which the sample processing devices are located during operation of the systems. The systems also include a cover and compression structure designed to force a sample processing device towards the base plate. The preferred result is that the sample processing device is forced into contact with a thermal structure on the base plate. The systems and methods of the present invention may include one or more of the following features to enhance thermal coupling between the thermal structure and the sample processing device: a shaped transfer surface, magnetic compression structure, and floating or resiliently mounted thermal structure. The methods may preferably involve deformation of a portion of a sample processing device to conform to a shaped transfer surface.

L'invention concerne des systèmes de traitement d'échantillons et des procédés d'utilisation desdits systèmes pour traiter des matériaux échantillons placés dans des dispositifs de traitement d'échantillons. Les systèmes de traitement d'échantillons comprennent une plaque de base rotative sur laquelle les dispositifs de traitement d'échantillons sont placés au cours du fonctionnement des systèmes. Lesdits systèmes comprennent également un couvercle et une structure de compression conçue pour contraindre un dispositif de traitement d'échantillons vers la plaque de base. Le résultat préféré est que le dispositif de traitement d'échantillons est contraint à venir au contact avec une structure thermique sur la plaque de base. Les systèmes et procédés de la présente invention peuvent faire appel à un ou plusieurs des éléments suivants pour améliorer le couplage thermique entre la structure thermique et le dispositif de traitement d'échantillons : une surface de transfert profilée, une structure de compression magnétique et une structure thermique flottante ou montée souple. Les procédés peuvent de préférence impliquer une déformation d'une partie du dispositif de traitement d'échantillons pour épouser une surface de transfert profilée.
