THERMORESPONSIVE POLYMER-BASED MICRODEVICE FOR NANO-LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY

Thermal coupling structure 40 has a tubular collar 42 which embraces the cold end of cold finger 14. Fingers 44 on collar 42 resiliently engage within inner wall 24 of dewar 22 so that heat is conducted from device 32 to be cooled through this inner wall 24 to fingers 44, collar 42 to cold finger 16.
