A hand-held micropipettor having a construction to impede transfer of heat from a handle to a portion enclosing a piston chamber, and means for drawing room air along the piston to effect its cooling when the micropipettor is operated. A compressible piston seal is held in place with a retainer urged in an axial direction by a resilient element with an uniform force independent of the position of the piston.

Hand-held micropipettor with improved accuracy of liquid volumes

A hand-held micropipettor having an improved tip ejector that is operable by the same thumb stroke of the user that operates a liquid transfer plunger therein. In one embodiment, the tip ejector has its own separate knob adjacent the liquid transfer plunger. In another embodiment, operation of the plunger itself causes a pipette tip to be ejected at the end of the liquid transfer plunger stroke.

Hand-held micropipettor with improved pipette tip ejector

A device for accurately dispensing a volume of fluid that is predetermined by limiting the outward travel distance of a plunger within a fluid chamber. The plunger limit stop is attached to a scale post having raised indicia lines and is adjustable therealong by a detent engagement wherein the limit stop is selectively positioned to engage one of a plurality of notches formed on the scale post between its volume indicia raised lines.
