    Abstract: A device for receiving, stacking, and removing microplates is presented and described. The device comprises a tower for stacking the microplates, wherein a microplate comprises a container and, optionally, a lid. There is a retaining device at the lower end of the tower, which has a first retaining tool and a second retaining tool, and preferably partially encompasses a microplate. The first retaining tool is designed to hold a microplate in a form-fitting manner. The second retaining tool is designed to fix a container in the microplate in place in a frictional manner. The first retaining tool is above the second retaining tool in the stacking direction. A system that comprises the device described above, a dispenser device, and a transport device, is also disclosed. The dispenser device is used to fill microplates, and the transport device is used to add and remove microplates to and from the device.

    Abstract: The invention pertains to a handheld pipette (11) with a handle (13), an interconnecting part (15) to attach a pipette tip and an ejection mechanism to remove the pipette tip from the interconnecting part (15). The ejection mechanism has a movable slider (43) relative to the interconnecting part (15) in the area of the interconnecting part (15 that is designed to slide the pipette tip from the interconnection part (15) when operating the ejection mechanism. The pipette (11) furthermore possesses a first and a second operating element (45, 47) accessible from the outside to operate the ejection mechanism, whereby the first operating element (45) is arranged in the area of the handle (13) and is operable by hand, and where the second operating element (47) is intended to be operated by an external device (71).

    Abstract: A manual pipette includes a manual volume adjustment having three discreet resolutions. The pipette uses three rotatable step cylinders and one non-rotatable cylinder to set the overall stroke length for the piston. The step cylinders are rotated by manual dials that are accessible on either side of the pipette body. The dial bodies include numerical scales corresponding to the setting of the respective step cylinders.

    Abstract: A pipette tip rack system includes a disposable refill pack and a reusable base. After use, the disposable refill pack can be disassembled, and the components can be stacked or nested for space saving storage prior to disposal or recycling. The pipette tips in the disposable refill pack are configured to fit on a mounting shaft that includes outwardly circumferentially extending locking lobes over which the pipette tip collar is mounted. The pipette tip includes a circular cantilever sealing ring that seals laterally against the mounting shaft when the tip is fully mounted. The circular cantilever sealing ring has an annular wall surrounded by a gap. The annular wall has an inside surface that slants inward to provide a lateral interference fit with the mounting shaft. The annular wall bends radially outward towards the gap, rather than stretching, when the tip is mounted on the mounting shaft thereby reducing require insertion force. The refill pack can be made with less plastic because of the reduced cumulative insertion forces, even when loading 384 pipette tips simultaneously in an automated liquid handling system.

    Abstract: Pipetting containers, such as reservoirs, reservoir liners, microplates, PCR plates, microtubes and PCR tubes, include anti-vacuum channels on the bottom wall of the receptacle to prevent a pipette tip vacuum engaging the wall during aspiration. The groupings of anti-vacuum channels are located on the bottom surface facing upward into the basin that holds liquid samples or reagents. The anti-vacuum channels also lower the required working volume for pipetting and reduce liquid waste.

    Abstract: A hand-held, multi-channel pipettor has an electronically controlled motor to reposition pipette tips for different center to center spacing. Each repositionable tip fitting assembly has a cam following pin that is driven by cam tracks in a motor driven roller drum. Stationary ports for the multiple aspiration cylinders are strategically placed to simplify management of flexible tubes leading to the repositionable pipette tip fitting assemblies. The pipettor has a user interface that can be operated conveniently by one hand to reposition pipette tips. It has a pipette tip ejection mechanism with a sinusoidal stripper bar.

    Abstract: The pipetting method is directed to mounting and ejecting a disposable pipette tip. The pipetting system has one or more tip mounting shafts with an upper locking section and a lower sealing section. The upper locking section has outwardly extending lobes spaced around the mounting shaft and located above a stop member. The lower sealing section on the tip mounting shaft is located below the stop. As the mounting shaft is inserted into the collar of the disposable pipette, the collar distorts out of round and engages the lobes on the upper locking section of the tip mounting shaft. Contemporaneously, the lower sealing section of the mounting shaft seals against the barrel of the disposable pipette tip.
