PIPETTE AND SEALING TIP

A sealing pipette tip includes features to seal the tip directly against the piston in an air displacement pipette, avoiding the need for a piston seal within the pipette. This configuration reduces potential points of failure, allows the pipette-tip interface to be optimized, and improves liquid ha...

Summary:A sealing pipette tip includes features to seal the tip directly against the piston in an air displacement pipette, avoiding the need for a piston seal within the pipette. This configuration reduces potential points of failure, allows the pipette-tip interface to be optimized, and improves liquid handling characteristics of the pipette. L'invention concerne un embout d'étanchéité de pipette qui comprend des caractéristiques permettant de sceller l'embout directement contre le piston dans une pipette à déplacement d'air, évitant ainsi la nécessité d'un joint de piston dans la pipette. Cette configuration réduit les points de défaillance potentiels, permet d'optimiser l'interface pipette-embout, et améliore les caractéristiques de manipulation des liquides de la pipette.
