Abstract: A mechanical pipette having a fixed stroke for aspirating and discharging a predetermined volume of liquid into and from a reservoir. A measuring piston controls the volume of liquid drawn into the reservoir and a substantially larger piston assures that all of the liquid in the reservoir is expelled therefrom on a discharge stroke. On the discharge stroke, a mechanically actuated valve is opened to admit air being compressed by the substantially larger piston into the reservoir.

Abstract: A package of disposable pipette tips in which tapered pipette tips are supported on trays by projecting through apertures provided in the tray and in which the trays have sidewalls that extend downwardly from the tip supporting surface of the tray a distance greater than the distance the pipette tips project through the supporting surface. The sidewalls of the trays may be configured such that the bottom edge of the sidewall of a tray is supported by a shoulder formed in the sidewall of a tray on which the first tray is stacked. When the trays are thus stacked, the pipette tips on one tray project into the pipette tips on the tray below.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for accessing a sealed container (12), and in particular a sealed container which is at a pressure other than atmospheric and which generally contains blood or other bodily fluid. A piercer (60) and a probe (62) are provided which are mounted to a XYZ positioning mechanism (30) and are controlled such that the piercer (60) passes through a stopper or seal (14) of the container (12), forming a cut therein through which the probe (62) may subsequently enter the container. A foot mechanism (64, 66, 68) is provided which is held against the stopper or seal for the container during piercer or probe removal for stripping purposes and through which the probe and piercer pass, the size and shape of the foot (68) bing such that for both piercing and probing operations, it is over only a single container (12). The piercer (60) and probe (62) are operated such that the one not being used is in each instance in a raised position relative to the one being used. A lubrication station is provided in which the piercer is dipped prior to use to facilitate the piercing operation, to coat the cut and to minimize stopper debris. A wash station is also provided.
