Claim 11:
12. An analytical instrument comprising:
a housing;
a thermal isolation chamber in the housing, wherein the thermal isolation chamber comprises:
at least a first plate; and
an insulative barrier; and

a chromatography column space within the thermal isolation chamber, wherein the chromatography column space is configured to receive a chromatography column, and wherein the thermal isolation chamber is configured to thermally isolate the received chromatography column from other components in the housing, the thermal isolation chamber comprising a first cyclical air flow path formed around the insulative barrier and from between the first plate and aft the insulative barrier in the thermal isolation chamber, wherein the first cyclical air flow path is configured to provide an air flow in the first cyclical air flow path around the insulative barrier to the received chromatography column to remove heat from the received chromatography column, and wherein the thermal isolation chamber is configured to transfer the removed heat to the first plate.
