  • Publication number: 20020057994
    Abstract: A pipette tip having at least two separate dispensing channels for dispensing liquid simultaneously into a corresponding number of micro titration wells or other container. The tip has a tubular body with one open end for mounting on a pipette. At the other end of the body, at least two spaced legs extend away from the body, each having a central channel communicating with the tip interior and an end opening. The tips are stored in a rack having an alignment arrangement, such as a ridge on each tip cooperating with a notch in the rack, to assure that all tips are aligned the same. In operation, the a tip is mounted on a pipette which is then brought to a supply plate having supply wells wide enough that all legs can enter and draw up liquid through the leg channels. The pipette is then moved to a micro titration plate having a number of closely spaced micro titration wells, such that each tip leg will enter a different micro titration well and dispense the liquid into them.

  • Patent number: 6338825
    Abstract: A pipette tip having at least two separate dispensing channels for dispensing liquid simultaneously into a corresponding number of micro titration wells or other container. The tip has a tubular body with one open end for mounting on a pipette. At the other end of the body, at least two spaced legs extend away from the body, each having a central channel communicating with the tip interior and an end opening. The tips are stored in a rack having an alignment arrangement, such as a ridge on each tip cooperating with a notch in the rack, to assure that all tips are aligned the same. The leg channels can be configured so that different amounts of liquid are dispensed into different micro titration wells in a predetermined pattern. The tip may also be used to transfer liquid from one micro titration plate to another, or any suitable container.
