Patent ID: 7691334

Claim:
A temperature control apparatus for a microchemical chip having at least one chemical reactor, the temperature control apparatus comprising: a first temperature regulator configured to allow the microchemical chip to be mounted thereon, the first temperature regulator configured to be thermally engaged with the at least one chemical reactor so as to control the temperature of the at least one chemical reactor; and a controller configured to control the first temperature regulator, the first temperature regulator and the controller being removably connected to each other, wherein the first temperature regulator further comprises a first connector, and the controller comprises a second connector, the first and second connectors being configured to be removably and electrically connected to each other, and the first and second connectors allow the first temperature regulator and the controller to be removable, and wherein the first temperature regulator further comprises a first temperature control device disposed corresponding to each of the chemical reactors, the first temperature control device being configured to be adjacent to the microchemical chip, and the first temperature control device being electrically connected to the first connector.
