Abstract:
The present invention provides a reaction vessel and apparatus for performin g heat-exchanging reactions. The vessel has a chamber for holding a sample, th e chamber being defined by two opposing major walls and a plurality of minor walls joining t he major walls to each other, at least two of the walls being light transmissive to provide optical windows to the chamber. The apparatus comprises at least one heating surface for contacting at least one of the major walls, a heat source for heating the surface, and optics positione d to optically interrogate the chamber while the heating surface is in contact with at leas t one of the major walls. The optics include at least one light source for transmitting light t o the chamber through a first one of the light transmissive walls and at least one detecto r for detecting light exiting the chamber through a second one of the light transmissive walls.
