Abstract

A micro-calorimeter apparatus comprises a thermostated housing (3,4,5); a pair of essentially flat heat sinks (9,10), suspended in the housing (2) and thermally floating relative to the environment inside the housing (3,4,5). The heat sinks (9,10) are arranged with their surfaces facing each other. A pair of Peltier elements (11) are thermally attached to the heat sinks (9,10), one element (11) on each heat sink (9,10), on the facing surfaces, forming a gap between them for the accommodation of a generally flat biosensor unit (12).
