摘要:
A volume adjustable pipette, comprising a plunger mounted for movement in a housing to and from a stop to aspirate a fluid into and dispense the fluid from a tip extending from the housing. An axially moveable volume setting member in the housing defines the stop and a volume setting for the pipette and is axially moveable by a user turnable volume setting member. Turning of the volume adjusting member also controls a coarse volume setting means and a fine volume setting means, the course volume setting means being responsive to a relatively small turning of the volume adjusting member for moving the volume setting member a relatively large axial distance and the fine volume setting means being responsive to a relatively large turning of the volume adjusting member for moving the volume setting member a relatively small axial distance.

An ergonomic, manually precisely controllable return springless air displacement pipette relying upon the friction of a piston seal to maintain a plunger unit of the pipette in any axial location established by a user of the pipette.
摘要:
An air displacement pipette having axially spaced annular sealing and substantially cylindrical lateral support zones and regions on the pipette's mounting shaft and tip, respectively, in combination with means for insuring uniform depth of mounting shaft penetration into the pipette tip to maintain uniform tip interference with the mounting shaft as successive tips are mounted on and ejected from the mounting shaft whereby the pipette tip is easily and firmly mountable on and easily ejectable from the pipette tip mounting shaft by the application of axial mounting and ejection forces of about two pounds and one pound, respectively.
摘要:
A pipette tip and mounting shaft combination in an air displacement pipette, the combination comprising a pipette tip mounting shaft having a radially stepped exterior comprising adjacent substantially cylindrical portions of different diameter and an annular sealing zone including an annular edge seal at an outermost edge of a radially extending shaft transition, a pipette tip including an annular sealing region having an inner sealing surface on a sidewall of the tip which in the sealing region is sufficiently thin as to expand slightly and form an interference fit and air tight seal between the sealing surface and the sealing zone when the sealing zone penetrates the sealing region, and axial penetration limiting means for limiting penetration of the shaft into the tip to limit axial contact between the sealing region and the sealing zone to a narrow annular band comprising the annular edge seal.
摘要:
An air displacement pipette having axially spaced annular sealing and lateral support zones and regions on the pipette's mounting shaft and tip, respectively, the annular sealing zone comprising an annular sealing surface outward of an outer surface of the mounting shaft at a lower end thereof and a sidewall of the pipette tip in the sealing region being sufficiently thin as to expand slightly and form an interference fit and air tight seal between the sealing surface and the sealing region when the sealing zone penetrates the sealing region and an outer diameter of the mounting shaft in the lateral support zone being equal to or slightly greater than an inner diameter of the pipette tip in the lateral support region to produce an secondary interference fit or air tight seal between the mounting shaft and pipette tip.
摘要:
A volume adjustable manual pipette having a hand-holdable housing supporting (i) an electronic digital display and associated position sensing and control circuitry, (ii) a plunger unit and (iii) a quick set volume adjustment mechanism for simultaneously controlling the volume setting of the pipette and the electronic display, the quick set volume adjustment mechanism comprising a pipette volume setting member for limiting upward movement of the plunger unit within the housing to define the volume setting for the pipette and the volume setting member being supported for axial movement on the plunger unit and releasably secured relative to the housing by a pipette user operable locking mechanism. When released from the housing, the volume setting member is axially moveable on and with the plunger unit to quickly set the volume for the pipette. When secured to the housing, the plunger unit is axially moveable relative to the volume setting unit to aspirate and dispense the selected volume of liquid into and from a pipette tip extending from a lower end of the housing. The volume setting of the pipette is monitored by the sensing and control circuitry to provide a real time display of the volume setting of the pipette.
摘要:
A membrane filter pipette tip comprising a hollow tube having a relatively large open upper end for seating on a lower end of a pipette tip mounting shaft of a pipette device and having a relatively small lower open end for passing fluid into the lower end of the tube upon operation of the pipette device in an aspiration mode. A porous membrane is secured by a porous plug within the tube across an open channel within the tube extending between the open upper and lower ends thereof and having a fluid initiation/penetration pressure which is greater than the maximum vacuum pressure which the pipette device to which the tube is secured is capable of generating.
摘要:
A battery powered, microprocessor controlled portable electronic pipette, comprising a hand holdable housing supporting a battery, a linear actuator for driving a plunger lengthwise in a cylinder to aspirate and dispense fluid into and from a pipette tip extending from the housing and a control circuit for the linear actuator. The linear actuator is powered by the battery and comprises a stepper motor with current receiving windings for electromagnetically driving a rotor to impart the lengthwise movement to the plunger. The control circuit includes (i) a user controllable microprocessor powered by the battery and programmed to generate drive signals for the stepper motor, (ii) a display supported by the housing and electrically connected to the microprocessor, (iii) user actuateable control keys supported by the housing and electrically connected to the microprocessor for generating within the microprocessor pipette mode of operation, liquid pick up volume, liquid dispense, pipette speed of operation and pipette reset signals for controlling operation of the pipette and alpha-numeric user readable displays on the display, (iv) a memory having tables of data stored therein and accessible and useable by the microprocessor to control operations of the pipette, and (v) user actuateable switches supported by the housing for triggering pipette operations selected by user actuation of the control keys.
摘要:
A manual pipette including a delayed action home position latch for engaging only after the plunger unit of the pipette has moved downward through its home position to thereafter releasably connect a moveable bottom stop member to the plunger unit to move therewith and upon an upward return of the plunger unit by the pipette's return spring to engage a home position stop to releasably lock the plunger unit in its home position without any downward force being exerted by the pipette user on the plunger unit.
