Abstract
A laboratory temperature controlling apparatus including container-like wells (2) disposed in a unit in a plane. Heating devices and cooling devices drive the wells. The wells have thin walls, and the heating devices include electrically powered heating wires that are coiled around the exterior surface of the wells. The coiled heating wires generally match an external contour of the wells. The cooling device may be a blower disposed to blow air over the exterior surface of the wells.
