A bottom part of a positive-displacement pipetting system), including a body slideably housing a device for gripping a piston belonging to a capillary-piston assembly the capillary of which is adapted to be fitted onto an end-fitting of the body. The system also comprises means for ejecting the capillary-piston assembly arranged externally with respect to the body. The system is constructed so that a relative rotation between the ejection means and the gripping device causes it to pass from an open configuration enabling the piston to be released to a closed configuration enabling said piston to be retained, and/or the reverse.

Ejection function for a positive-displacement pipetting system

A pipetting system including a positive displacement sampling pipette as well as a capillary-piston assembly, the piston of which has a top end intended to be held by a gripping device equipping the pipette, the device including a plurality of gripping tongs. The system is designed so that, when the capillary is fitted on the pipette tip and the gripping device is remote from the piston upwards, this device can be displaced downwards with its tongs in an open configuration, up to a determined position in which the tongs, arranged around the top end of the piston, automatically switch into a closed configuration in which they provide a holding of the top end of the piston.

Positive displacement pipetting system, having a design facilitating the gripping of the piston of the capillary-piston assembly

A positive displacement sampling pipette which includes a control rod, the bottom end of which controls the displacement of a device for gripping the top end of a piston of a capillary-piston assembly intended to cooperate with said pipette. The pipette includes an ejection rod of the capillary-piston assembly, movably mounted with respect to the control rod such that its bottom end exerts an ejection strain on the top end of the piston accommodated in the gripping device during a relative displacement between the ejection rod and the control rod.
