I'll be making an air heated and cooled thermal cycler with micro python as the code base, so it
can use an easy to write or change high level language script to choose details like time to let temperature
stabilize. Air as the heat transfer medium can get fast temperature ramp up or down
as heat flows from rushing air into sample vials or out of sample vials into rushing air.

If interested in those design constraints, I'll be glad to help you evolve a design you can make,
if you share the work docs licensed TAPR or MIT or similar open hardware license, as I will be doing.
The housing for such a machine will not be crude or simple, but a big part of the design. I
plan on making housings by carving from chunks of plastic on a CNC mill.
