Claim 1
A centrifuging reaction vessel assembly for asymmetric heating and cooling of the reaction mixtures during centrifugation, comprising a rotor means for mixingreaction mixtures, said rotor means supporting at least one microtitre plate for centrifuging reaction mixtures, said rotor means including at least one fan blade for directing ambient gas into an inner space formed between a base portion and a lidportion of said rotor means which enables gas flow to pass in direct contact with said at least one microtitre plate disposed in said inner space.
