Biochemical analyzer and method of controlling internal temperature of the biochemical analyzer

A method of controlling an internal temperature of a biochemical analyzer comprising:

• a microfluidic device loading space which receives a microfluidic device, the microfluidic device loading space comprising a microfluidic device supporting unit detachably supporting the microfluidic device, wherein the microfluidic device comprises an energy application region to which an energy is applied;
• an energy source loading space which receives an energy source, the energy source applying the energy to the energy application region of the microfluidic device;
• and an isolation wall isolating the microfluidic device loading space from the energy source loading space to prevent heat transfer between the microfluidic device loading space and the energy source loading space, the isolation wall comprises a window through which the energy can be transmitted,
• the method comprising:
• measuring the temperature of the microfluidic device loading space using the first temperature sensor;
• and
• operating the heater if the measured temperature is lower than a first reference temperature.
