Abstract: A pipette tip includes a proximal end having an aperture and a proximal body region having a first internal cavity that receives a pipette member, and a distal end having an aperture and a distal body region having a second internal cavity that in operation receives and discharges a liquid aspirated by the pipette member, where the ratio of the proximal half weight of the pipette tip to the distal half weight of the pipette tip normalized to the total weight of the pipette tip has a value, defined as a thinning constant, wherein the pipette tip has a wall thickness of less than 0.022 inches over the distal region.
