The invention relates to a pipette auxiliary system for supporting manual pipetting or dispensing of a plurality of samples of a sample-holding arrangement, in particular a microtiter plate. The pipette auxiliary system according to the invention supports the manual pipetting or dispensing of a plurality of samples in a working position of a sample-holding arrangement, the pipette auxiliary system comprising: a base apparatus comprising a positioning device which is designed to position the sample-holding arrangement in the working position inside a positioning space of the base apparatus, said positioning space being opened at least along a plane for the pipetting; the sample-holding arrangement which has a plurality of sample holders; a measurement arrangement comprising a plurality of measurement elements which are positioned at least in the working position underneath this plane and using which the occupancy state of at least one sample holder can be detected in the working position; and an output device or a light arrangement using which the sample-holding arrangement can be illuminated in accordance with this occupancy state of this at least one sample holder.

Pipette auxiliary system

Provided is a handheld fluid transfer apparatus, more particularly a pipette or repeater pipette, and a laboratory system comprising the handheld fluid transfer apparatus, which comprises: a control apparatus, which comprises a data processor capable to execute a control program for controlling at least one electronically controllable function of the handheld fluid transfer apparatus using input data, a user interface device for receiving a user input, the user interface device comprising a motion sensor device for measuring motion data of the handheld fluid transfer apparatus and for providing at least one motion data sequence, which contains subsequently measured motion data, a motion data memory for storing the at least one motion data sequence, an evaluation device being configured to determine the input data in dependence on the evaluation of the at least one motion data sequence. A method is provided for operating the fluid transfer apparatus or the laboratory system.
