A pipetting device comprising a head and a nozzle with a longitudinal axis mounted to the head is disclosed. An actuator member is arranged around and partially covering the nozzle and coupled to the head or to the nozzle. The actuator member and the nozzle move with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis. A contact member is coupled to and arranged around and partially covering the actuator member. The contact member and the actuator member move with respect to each other. The contact member comprises a rim for contacting a container. The actuator member comprises a rim for opening a cap of the container when the contact member is in contact with the container. The actuator member and the contact member move with respect to each other creating a passage through the cap when the nozzle and the actuator member move with respect to each other.

The invention relates to a sampling assembly (), in particular for relatively small quantities of bodily fluids. The said sample assembly () comprises a sample container () and a support assembly (). The sample container () has an open end (), an end () closed by a bottom () as well as a side wall (). The support assembly () protrudes axially over the sample container () in the area of the closed end () thereof, and comprises at least two container extension pieces (). The container extension pieces () are each integrally connected with the sample container () via a hinge assembly () and are pivotable from a production position aligned at an angle () to the longitudinal axis () to a use position which is aligned approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis ().
