  • Pipette-tip storage device
    Patent number: 6514466
    Abstract: A reusable pipette-tip holder that doubles the density of the number of pipette tips able to be stored within a single container, while conserving the total amount of material, packaging and storage space. The invention creates a rigid box by the joining, bottom to bottom, of two pipette-racks each having a standard matrix of pipette-receiving holes. The new design permits pipettes to be inserted from both the top and bottom of the box, because the centerline spacing of the rows of pipette-receiving holes on the top and bottom surfaces is offset with respect to each other. Rows of pipette tips from one side of the container nest between the free space in adjacent rows of tips inserted from the other side of the container.
