Thermoelectric cooling centrifuge

A thermoelectrically cooled device for a centrifuge having a rotor comprising in combination;

• a centrifuge housing having at least one side ingress port and at least one oppositely disposed side egress port;
• said centrifuge housing having a top portion;
• a thermal conductive chamber adapted and constructed to contain a rotor of said centrifuge;
• said centrifuge housing surrounding said chamber and defining a space therebetween housing;
• at least one thermoelectric module having a cooling side and a heating side;
• said cooling side of said thermoelectrically module being attached to said chamber in said space;
• at least one heat sink attached to a heating side of said thermoelectric module to form a unitary and locally rigid structure with said chamber at the point of attachment;
• said at least one thermoelectrically cooling module having a first heat receiving side communicated to said side of said chamber and having a heat discharge side for passing heat energy away from said chamber;
• said heat discharge side including a plurality of horizontally disposed fins positioned in said space between said chamber and said housing communicated to each of said thermoelectric modules at said heat discharge side for dissipation, heat energy from said chamber and heat energy from said thermoelectric module;
• said side ingress port of said housing having air pressurizing means and means direction, the pressurized air horizontally between said fins and out the egress port of said housing to thereby remove heat.
