Abstract
A temperature controller for controlling temperature of a first structure having a first flat face comprises a second structure having a second flat face for planar contact with the first flat face, a pressure-applying means for pressing the first structure, a second supporting means for supporting the second structure to be capable of changing inclination of the second flat face, a first supporting means for supporting the first structure by contact with a portion of the first structure other than the first flat face, and a temperature-controlling means, wherein the first structure is supported by pressing the first structure by the pressure-applying means, and the second structure is brought into contact with the temperature-controlling means with interposition of the second supporting means.

9. A pressing and supporting mechanism comprising:
-
a first structure having a chamber for causing a biochemical reaction and a first flat face formed by a base plate, wherein the base plate forms a wall face of the chamber; a second structure being a member to control a temperature by conducting heat to the first structure, wherein the second structure comprises a second flat face for contacting the first flat face, and wherein a pressure is applied through the second flat face to the first flat face to thereby support the first structure; a support placed at a position to fit into a dent on a plane of the first structure where the first flat face is positioned, but not within the first flat face; and an energizing mechanism for energizing the first structure towards the second structure and the supporting means, wherein the energizing mechanism includes a connecting member which controls a liquid flow in the first structure. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13)
