  • Automatic Pipette Extraction
    Publication number: 20110214517
    Abstract: An automatic extractor for volumetric pipettes includes a pair of gripping jaws. Each gripping jaw has a non-slip gripping surface juxtaposed symmetrically along a longitudinal pipette axis. The non-slip gripping surfaces are spaced apart from one another to provide ample room to place a volumetric pipette therebetween. A stationary support plate located above the pair of gripping jaws receives the nose of a hand-held pump while the stem of the attached pipette triggers an activation switch that closes the gripping jaws and removes the pipette.
