Abstract:
1. A portable temperature transfer device for rapidly transferring thermal energy to and from a laboratory culture plate comprising a plurality of wells, said portable temperature transfer device comprising: a base having a flat bottom surface, said bottom surface having a first width and a first length and said base further comprising a raised portion that forms a stage, such that the top surface of the stage is the top surface of the base, said top surface having a height and a second length and a second width, the second length and width being less than the first length and width, thereby creating a recessed surface interposed between the bottom of the base and the top of the raised stage; wherein said height of said stage is such that the top surface of the stage contacts the bottoms of the wells of said laboratory culture plate when said plate is placed on said stage; and wherein said portable temperature transfer device comprises a thermo conductive material adapted for rapidly transferring thermo energy from a temperature control device to the plurality of laboratory culture plate wells.
