  • CAP AND FLUID HANDLING TUBE COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES
    Publication number: 20190015830
    Abstract: Provided herein are cap and tube component embodiments that permit ergonomic engagement and disengagement. Also provided herein are assemblies thereof in which a cap is in sealing engagement with a tube. When engaged with a tube, a cap may be pivoted with respect to a point located on the interior rim of the tube opening by applying a relatively small force to the exterior surface of the cap. Pivoting the cap at this point on the tube can break the seal between the tube and cap and permit removal of the cap from the tube for manipulation of fluid in the tube.

  • Ergonomic fluid handling tubes
    Patent number: 10137447
    Abstract: Provided herein are fluid handling tubes having a cap that includes a sealing member having interior grooves and panels. Also provided herein are fluid handling tubes having a cap that includes (i) a sealing member having a concave surface at a distal region, and (ii) a flat proximal surface. Provided also are fluid handling tubes having a cap that includes an engagement member at an edge of the cap, where the engagement member includes a surface having curvature and a taper. Also provided herein are fluid handling tubes that include a cap comprising a tube sealing member, an anterior engagement member, and one or more channels (e.g., one or more furrows or grooves) between the sealing member and the engagement member that function as a hinge or pivot.

  • Static-defeating apparatus for pipette tips
    Patent number: 10137453
    Abstract: Provided in part herein are static-defeating apparatus for use in multipipettor systems. Multiple pipette tips can be retained by a static-defeating sheet of material. A multipipettor, having multiple pipettes or nozzles, can engage the pipette tips retained by the sheet. After use, the multipipettor can eject the pipette tips, which sometimes are ejected as a single unit due to the pipette tips being retained by the sheet. In certain embodiments, an apparatus includes a snap plate having one or more holes, and a base rack for ease of mounting.
