    Abstract: A device for performing polymerase chain reactions using cooling members not used in conventional thermal cyclers. A device for performing polymerase chain reactions may include a sample holder configured to receive a nucleic acid sample, a heating system configured to raise the temperature of the sample, a cooling system configured to lower the temperature of the sample, and a controller configured to operably control the heating system and the cooling system to cycle the device through a desired time-temperature profile. The cooling system may comprise at least one cooling member selected from a synthetic jet ejector array, a vibration-induced droplet atomization system, a vibrating diaphragm system, a piezo fan, a Cold Gun, a microchannel cooling loop, and a Cool Chip.

    Abstract: An instrument comprises a reaction region holding assembly (48) including wells for holding a plurality of spaced-apart reaction regions (40) and a light emitting source (10) adapted to direct excitation beams (15) toward the plurality of reaction regions and to simultaneously illuminate two or more of the spaced-apart reaction regions. The light emitting source includes an array of light emitting diode sources that are arranged in groups, wherein different groups of predetermined numbers of light emitting diode sources are configured to emit different excitation frequencies. The instrument further includes a collimating lens system (20) disposed along the path of excitation beams between the light emitting source and the plurality of reaction regions wherein the collimating lens system is capable of collimating the excitation beams emitted from the light emitting source into two or more spaced-apart bundles of collimated excitation beams (25) and wherein the instrument is capable of directing each of two or more bundles of collimated excitation beams toward a respective reaction region of the plurality of reaction regions.
