Abstract: Provided is a multichannel pipette whose number of channels can be arbitrarily set and managed to improve usability of the multichannel pipette and improve productivity, quality control, and maintainability in a research site. A multichannel pipette includes a pipette main body, a lower part attached to a lower end portion of the pipette main body, and a plurality of chip holder units housed inside the lower part, wherein each of the chip holder units has a connecting portion attachable to and removable from any of a plurality of to-be-connected portions provided in a unit case inside the lower part, and each of the chip holder units is attachable to and removable from the lower part.

Abstract: Provided is an overload prevention mechanism having a structure that protects a weight sensor with a floating action and ensuring the reproducibility of the return position of the weight sensor. The overload prevention mechanism has a resilient member that is interposed between the weight sensor and the case, supports the weight sensor in a pressing manner against the case, and when a certain plate load or greater is imposed causes the weight sensor to separate from the case and thereby be released from the load, a guide member that is arranged in a standing manner between the weight sensor and the case, and a guide receiving seat that is provided in the weight sensor or the case and engages with the guide member.

Abstract: Provided is a mass sensor including a four-corner-adjusting-mechanism capable of reducing the sensitivity of four-corner adjustment without reducing the rigidity of a Roberval mechanism. A mass sensor (1) includes a Roberval mechanism (2) in which a floating frame (21) and a fixing frame (22) are connected by upper and lower sub-frames (23, 24) having thin portions (23b) formed thereon, and a four-corner-adjusting-mechanism (4) to perform parallelism adjustment. The four-corner-adjusting-mechanism (4) includes an adjusting screw (41), and an upper elastic member (42u) and a lower elastic member (42d) disposed in series in the vertical direction so as to sandwich the sub-frame (23) to be subjected to parallelism adjustment.
