Optically accessible cover

摘要: The present invention relates to a means for covering and device performing processes and/or reactions involving at least one sample, which are conducted in temperature-controlled environment require optical access sample. For the purposes of invention, 'optical access' is be understood as capability electromagnetic radiation, comprising or consisting radiation visible part spectrum, preferably from 400 nm 800 nm, interact with sample emanate without complete attenuation by passing through covering. While exemplarily discussed context thermal cyclers, particular quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) real time PCR, respectively, not restricted this specific application but rather relate all applications known person skilled art some kind sample(s)/mixture(s) need(s) handled certain temperature requirement needs fulfilled that capable emanating interacting said
