Abstract
The invention relates to a cooling device for a reaction chamber for processing a biochip and to a method for controlling said cooling device. The cooling device () according to the invention comprises a cooling piston (), a cooling unit () for cooling the cooling piston () and a drive () for displacing the cooling piston () or the reaction chamber in such a manner that the cooling piston can be brought into contact with a wall of the reaction chamber () and can be removed again. The cooling device () according to the invention allows high cooling rates and a high reproducibility of cooling processes. It has a simple design and can be reliably used in portable devices for examining biochips.
