A thermal cycling apparatus for a biological testing apparatus. The thermal cycling apparatus can have a sample interfacing wall extending from a mounting wall. The sample interfacing wall can accept and apply thermal cycles to samples. An air source can direct an air stream to cool the sample. Another source can direct heated air away from the sample.
