Abstract: A sample plate for a thermal cycler suitable for performing a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) procedure includes a base plate and a number of reaction vessels extending upward from the base plate. The sample plate further includes a vertical wall surrounding an outer perimeter defined by the reaction vessels. The vertical wall can be a continuation vertical wall, an intermittent vertical wall, or a perforated vertical wall. The intermittent vertical wall can include a plurality of wall portions, each of which plurality of wall portions is separated from other wall portions via a plurality of gaps.
