Abstract
A pipette tip reloading system permits the reuse of a tip holder in a manner which interposes no additional transfer structure between the tip holder and the replacement tips. The reloading system includes a tip transfer tray and a push plate which releases the tips from the tray in a simple and reliable manner. The push plate also helps maintain alignment of the tips on the transfer tray as they are moved into position on the tip holder.
