The object of this invention is a method for attaching a pipette tip and an apparatus for such method. The method comprises the following steps: opening the interlocking which attaches the replaceable part with the help of electronically controlled interlocking mechanism for detaching or receiving the replaceable part; saving the information of the opening of the interlocking mechanism to the control electronics of the pipette; closing the interlocking which attaches the replaceable part with the help of the electronically controlled interlocking mechanism for attaching the replaceable part; saving the information of the closing of the interlocking mechanism to the control electronics of the pipette; providing the dispensing parameters and/or type and/or size of the replaceable part with the help of a keyboard to the control electronics to ensure the attachment of a desired replaceable part and to achieve pipetting readiness. The object of this invention is thus also to present a pipetting apparatus where the setting mechanism of the replaceable part is so arranged that it prevents accidentally performed setting mistakes but does not require using of a special tip.
