1. A sample processing system comprising:

  • a base plate adapted to receive a sample processing device proximate a top surface of the base plate;

    a thermal structure exposed on the top surface of the base plate, wherein an upper surface of the thermal structure contacts a sample processing device received proximate the top surface of the base plate, and wherein the upper surface of the thermal structure is raised relative to the top surface of the base plate adjacent the thermal structure;

    a drive system adapted to rotate the base plate about an axis of rotation; and

    an electromagnetic energy source adapted to direct electromagnetic energy at the thermal structure while the base plate is rotating about the axis of rotation.
