A pipetting arrangement includes at least two sets of pipettes (). Each set of pipettes () is operationally connected, via a controllable ON/OFF valve () to a common aspiration port (). Latter is connectable to a pumping arrangement. The valves () are controlled by a timing-control unit () conceived to establish, by control of the valves (), the operational connections of the at least two sets of pipettes () to the aspiration port () in a time-multiplexed manner.
