Abstract: A pipette has a pipette tip mounting shaft having multiple sealing zones, with each sealing zone abutting a stop, which prevents a pipette tip from being placed on the shaft with excessive force. As a result, differently sized pipette tips, can be sealingly engaged on the shaft, and each can be ejected with a minimal amount of force.
Abstract: An adjustable hand-held pump adapted to measure microliter quantities of liquids includes a frame having a handle with a cylindrical opening formed therein. A threaded shaft is disposed and slidable within the cylindrical opening. A volume adjustment wheel is rotatably disposed within the frame at a stationary axial position and mechanically engages the threaded shaft to position the threaded shaft at a predetermined axial position within the cylindrical opening, thereby providing liquid volume adjustment.
