A pipette comprises a pipette housing, a neck configured to clamp on a pipette tip, and a drive apparatus. The drive apparatus comprises a drive element configured to displace a displacement element to draw a liquid sample into the pipette tip and to eject the liquid sample from the pipette tip. A scanning apparatus comprises a scanning element positioned proximate the neck and configured to be displaced relative to the pipette housing by a collar of the pipette tip when clamping the pipette tip onto the neck. A mechanical display apparatus is coupled to the scanning apparatus and comprises a display. When the pipette tip is clamped to the neck the scanning apparatus is configured to adjust the display depending on a height of the collar of the pipette tip relative to the neck, and the neck is configured to accommodate different collar heights.

Pipette for use with a pipette tip and pipette tip line comprising several pipette tips of different types for use with a pipette

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.

Handheld fluid transfer apparatus, laboratory system comprising the handheld fluid transfer apparatus, and method for operating a handheld fluid transfer apparatus or the laboratory system

The invention relates to a holding apparatus for holding a pipetting container, in particular a serological pipette, at a pipetting apparatus, comprising a tubular connecting section that is configured to hold a tube-shaped end of a pipetting container in a pipetting position by means of a clamping connection, a clamping connection device that is arranged at the connecting section and that comprises a spring device for the establishment of the clamping connection and an air chamber device for releasing the clamping connection by means of a vacuum. Furthermore, the invention relates to a pipetting apparatus with that holding apparatus.

Holding apparatus for holding a pipetting container at a pipetting device

A pipette for use with a pipette tip includes a housing, a pin on the bottom end of the housing holding a pipette tip having first means for form-fit connection and a second means for form-fit connection which can be shoved onto the pin, constricting the pin, and/or expanding the tip before form-fit connection with the pin, a drive apparatus, at least one locking sleeve arranged concentric to the pin which is guided toward the pin in the housing, wherein the locking sleeve has a locked position having a pin in the inside constricted by shoving on a pipette tip, and/or is bordered on the outside by a tip shoved onto the pin, preventing a release from the pin, and the locking sleeve is upwardly displaceable out of the locked position so that the pin, and/or the tip is released, and the tip is removable from the pin.

Pipette for use with a pipette tip

The invention further relates to a method for producing said pipetting device. The invention relates to a pipetting device, in particular for pipetting a fluid sample by suctioning into a pipetting container using air under a pipetting pressure, having the following: &#x2014;a valve assembly with at least one valve device for adjusting a pipetting pressure, said valve device having a valve chamber; &#x2014;at least one pump device which is connected to the valve chamber in order to generate a chamber pressure in the valve chamber; &#x2014;a pipetting channel which is connected to the pipetting container, and&#x2014;a bypass channel which is open towards the surroundings, wherein&#x2014;the pipetting channel and the bypass channel are each connected to the valve chamber; and&#x2014;the at least one valve device has a closure element with a closure surface which is designed such that the chamber pressure is distributed to the pipetting channel and the bypass channel in a metered manner by the valve device in order to generate the desired pipetting pressure in the pipetting channel. The invention further relates to a method for producing said pipetting device.

Pipetting device and method for producing same

The invention relates to a pipetting apparatus, and a method for producing the same, comprising: &#x2014;a valve arrangement having at least one valve device for setting a pipetting pressure, wherein the valve device comprises a valve chamber; &#x2014;at least one pump device, which is connected to the valve chamber to generate a chamber pressure in the valve chamber; &#x2014;a pipetting channel, to which the pipetting container can be connected, and; &#x2014;a bypass channel, which is open to the surrounding environment; wherein the pipetting channel and the bypass channel are each connected to the valve chamber; &#x2014;and wherein the at least one valve device is designed such that, to generate the desired pipetting pressure in the pipetting channel, the chamber pressure is distributed in a metered manner by the valve device between the pipetting channel and the bypass channel.
