1. An apparatus for thermal cycling a sample of nucleic acid contained in an elongated reaction vessel defining a longitudinal axis, the apparatus comprising:

  • a first heat conducting holder having at least one aperture means for receiving a first segment of an elongated reaction vessel, said first holder including first heating element means for providing heat to said first segment; and

    a second heat conducting holder having at least one aperture means, said at least one aperture means in registration with said at least one aperture means of said first holder for receiving a second segment of said elongated reaction vessel, said second holder including second heating element means for providing heat to said second segment independently of heat provided to the first segment by said first heating element;

    wherein said first segment is longitudinally spaced from said second segment.
