ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention relates to a heating/cooling apparatus made of a ceramics, which permits a precise temperature control of an object to be heated or cooled, i.e., a sample, in accordance with a predetermined temperature pattern, and which is useful for the temperature control of a sample in such fields as biotechnology, chemistry, medicine and bioengineering. The heating/cooling apparatus made of a ceramics of the present invention comprises: a sintered body comprising an electrically insulating ceramics and having any one of a face, at least one hole, at least one recess and at least one groove, each for receiving a sample; and a resistance- heating element as a heating means, which is buried into the sintered body. The whole of the sintered body may comprise an electrically conductive ceramics, thereby the sintered body itself forming a resistance-heating element as a heating means. The heating/cooling apparatus has furthermore a cooling means. According to the heating/cooling apparatus of the present invention, heat transfer from the sintered body to the sample is accomplished efficiently because of a large contact area with the sample, whereby it is possible to precisely heat and cool the sample in accordance with a predetermined temperature program, while keeping a uniform temperature distribution in the sample.
