Abstract

See full text

A pipettor assembly includes a pipettor and a pipette tip. In one embodiment, the pipettor has a tubular body which defines a hollow central bore. The central bore is closed at a first end and open at a second end. A cutout penetrates a side wall of the body near the second end to expose the central bore. A resilient, flexible member sealably covers the cutout. The pipette tip is coupled to the second end of the pipettor. A liquid is drawn into the pipette tip by depressing and then releasing the flexible member. A liquid is expelled by depressing the flexible member. In another embodiment, the pipettor has an elongated body with an air passage between the second and a side portion of the body. A flexible membrane is sealably attached to the side portion of the body. A deflection of the flexible membrane will cause a change in the volume of the air passage for picking-up and expelling liquids from the pipette tip.
