  • Patent number: 9624025
    Abstract: A pipette (110) includes an ejector member (140) with an ejector end (142) configured to be moved from the retracted position (147a) to the extended position (147b) to eject a gripped pipette tip (120) from an end portion (132) of the body (130) of the pipette (110). The pipette (110) further includes an adjustment device (160) configured to adjust the extended position (147b) of the ejector end (142) with respect to the body (130) and a lock device (200) configured to selectively inhibit operation of the adjustment device (160) to adjust the extended position (147b) of the ejector end (142).
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8357337
    Abstract: Pipette with adjustable volume of aspirated liquid built of a handle (1) and of a nozzle (3) and of coupled with them: an exchangeable pipette tip ejection mechanism, a drawing up and discharging mechanism with a plunger (12) arranged in said pipette nozzle (3), a plunger working stroke adjustment mechanism with at least one driving member (16), a manually actuated lock mechanism locking a drive assembly of an adjustment screw of a plunger working stroke, an engaging mechanism which engages said plunger working stroke adjustment mechanism with a counter (14) of an aspirated liquid volume by said pipette, a calibration mechanism for a change of a pipette calibration coefficient, whereas said driving member (16) of said drive assembly of said adjustment screw of the plunger working stroke is accessible from outside through at least one window (38) in a wall of said handle (1), said pipette is characterized in that said lock mechanism of said drive assembly of said adjustment screw of the plunger working stroke
