Abstract
A handheld multichannel air displacement pipette is modular in construction and includes compliant joints and molded plastic components in place of various machined metal, glass, and ceramic components found in traditional multichannel pipettes. These improvements are made without sacrificing performance in channel-to-channel consistency, accuracy, and precision. The multichannel pipette is inexpensive to manufacture, lightweight, reliable, and easy to assemble and service.
