What is claimed is: 1. A thermostated block for laboratory thermostats comprising; a body of thermally conductive material and having a wells side with a plurality of wells for receiving a plurality of sample liquid-containing vials provided between opposite end sides of the body, and a contact side ex-tending opposite the wells side; and at least two heat regulating devices arranged one behind another in one direction for providing a temperature gradient in that direction across the tempering block and arranged at the contact side of the body in an area contact with the contact side; wherein the at least two heat regulating devices are operable at different temperatures in a first operation mode for providing the temperature gradient and are as well operable at same temperature in a second operation mode for providing uniform temperature in the block, and wherein the thermostated block comprises at least two heat regulating devices arranged one behind another in a direction transverse to the one direction for providing the temperature gradient. 2. A thermostated block for laboratory thermostats comprising; a body of thermally conductive material and having a wells side with a plurality of wells for receiving a plurality of sample liquid-containing vials provided between opposite end sides of the body, and a contact side ex-tending opposite the wells side; and at least two heat regulating devices spaced from each other and operable at different temperatures for providing a temperature gradient in one direction across the tempering block and arranged at the contact side of the body in an area contact with the contact side; wherein the wells are arranged in rows in the direction of the gradient, in at least one of the rows at least half of the number of wells being located opposite the heat regulating devices, wherein at least one of the at least two heat regulating devices is opposed by at least two wells arranged in one of the rows, and wherein the thermostated block comprises at least two heat regulating devices arranged one behind another in a direction transverse to the one direction for providing the temperature gradient. 3. A thermostated block according to claim 2, wherein the two heat regulating devices arranged one behind another in the direction transverse to the one direction for providing the temperature gradient are operable at same temperature in a first operation mode and are operable at different temperature in a second operation mode. 4. A thermostated block according to claim 1, wherein at least one of the at least two heat regulating devices is opposed by at least two wells arranged one behind another in the direction of the temperature gradient. 5. A thermostated block according to claim 4, wherein the wells are arranged in rows in the direction of the gradient, in at least one of the rows at least half of the number of wells being located opposite the heat regulating devices. 6. A thermostated block according to claim 1, wherein the wells are arranged in rows in the direction of the gradient, in at least one of the rows at least half of the number of wells being located opposite the heat regulating devices. 7. A thermostated block according to claim 1, wherein at least half of the number of wells being located opposite the heat regulating devices.
