Abstract
A method for removing a replaceable tip used with a suction device for dispensing a liquid removes the tip by bringing a removal device, arranged in an air space formed jointly by a sample space of a replaceable tip and a cylindrical space of an end part of a suction device, movable between its two extreme positions, namely an inner home position and an outer removal position, into cooperation with an inside surface of the replaceable tip mounted on the end part whereby the movement of the removal device into its removal position causes the replaceable tip to be detached from the end part. A suction device is provided for using the method.
