AB  - This   paper   reports   on   the   implementation   andcharacterisation  of  a  thermally  controlled  device  forin  vitrobiomedical applications, based on standard Printed Circuit Board(PCB)  technology.  This  is  proposed  as  a  low  cost  alternativeto  state-of-the-art  microfluidic  devices  and  Lab-on-Chip  (LoC)platforms, which we refer to as the thermal Lab-on-PCB concept.In total, six different prototype boards have been manufacturedto  implement  as  many  mini-hotplate  arrays.  3D  multiphysicssoftware simulations show the thermal response of the modelledmini-hotplate boards to electrical current stimulation, highlight-ing  their  versatile  heating  capability.  A  comparison  with  theresults  obtained  by  the  characterisation  of  the  fabricated  PCBsdemonstrates  the  dual  temperature  sensing/heating  property  ofthe  mini-hotplate,  exploitable  in  a  larger  range  of  temperaturewith  respect  to  the  typical  operating  range  of  LoC  devices.  Thethermal system is controllable by means of external off-the-shelfcircuitry  designed  and  implemented  on  a  single-channel  controlboard  prototype.
