1. Apparatus for controlling the temperature of materials undergoing a physical or chemical process, comprising:
a) a reactor having a sample holder adapted to hold a plurality of said materials in a plurality of 2×n arrays, each array having two rows of n materials;
b) said reactor having a fluid inlet adapted to receive a temperature-modifying fluid and a fluid outlet adapted to discharge said temperature-modifying fluid;
c) said sample holder having a plurality of fluid flow channels configured such that a fluid flow channel is located adjacent to each of said two rows in each of said plurality of 2×n arrays, said fluid flow channels adapted to provide substantially equal flow rates and substantially equal fluid flow volumes as said temperature-modifying fluid travels past said arrays; and
d) at least one inlet-side air chamber disposed between said fluid inlet and at least one of said arrays and adapted to thermally insulate said materials from said temperature-modifying fluid as it is introduced into said fluid inlet.
