Cuvette with non-flexing thermally conductive wall

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Abstract of the Disclosure, There is disclosed a cuvette constructed with an improved sample fluid thermal time constant featuring a flexible heat transfer wall. To prevent such wall from deforming under pressure generated at high processing temperatures, thereby reducing heat transfer efficiency, the opposite wall is constructed to have a flexural strength that is sufficiently less than that of the heat transfer wall. This causes flexing to occur in the opposite wall, under pressure, rather than the heat transfer wall.
