Abstract

L'invention concerne un système de chambre de réaction chimique (10) combinant des dispositifs tels que du silicium polycristallin dopé pour le chauffage, du silicium brut pour le refroidissement convectif, et des refroidisseurs thermo-électriques (TE) (15, 16) pour accroître les vitesses de chauffage et de refroidissement de la ou des chambres de réaction (12, 13, 14). De plus, le système comporte des chambres de réaction ne fonctionnant pas au silicium (12, 13, 14), telles que tout matériau à haute conductivité thermique utilisé en combinaison avec un mécanisme de refroidissement thermo-électrique (15, 16) (c.-à-d. un dispositif à effet Peltier). La chaleur contenue dans la partie conductrice de chaleur du système peut être utilisée/réutilisée pour chauffer le dispositif, ce qui permet de conserver l'énergie et d'activer les vitesses de chauffage/refroidissement. Le système combine une chambre de réaction au silicium micro-usinée (12, 13, 14), par exemple, avec un module/dispositif (15, 16) supplémentaire permettant d'accroître le chauffage/refroidissement par l'effet Peltier. Ce module supplémentaire est particulièrement utile dans des environnements extrêmes (très chauds ou extrêmement froids) où un chauffage/refroidissement accru est utile pour accélérer les vitesses de cyclage thermique. Le système de chambre de réaction chimique (10) offre diverses applications en vue d'une synthèse ou d'un traitement de réactions organiques, inorganiques ou biochimiques, y compris la réaction de polymérisation en chaîne (PCR) et/ou d'autres réactions d'ADN, telle la réaction de ligation répétitive d'oligonucléotides.
