  • Patent number: 7320259
    Abstract: A pipette tip is provided including sidewall having a distal end and a proximal end. The sidewall extends from the proximal end to the distal end and defines a surface around a center axis. The distal portion defines a tip having an aperture. The proximal portion has a sealing member and a wall member spaced apart and defining a channel therein between. The sealing member is deflectable from a first position to a second position when receiving the shaft of a pipette tool. The sealing member is elastically deformable so as to creates a seal with the shaft.

  • Patent number: 7060226
    Abstract: The pipette tip packaging and transfer system comprises a plurality of receiving plates and a transfer member. Each receiving plate includes a plurality of openings for receiving pipette tips in a substantially vertical alignment at a medial position thereof. The loaded receiving plates can be stacked one atop of another with the pipette tips contained within a first receiving plate being received in the top openings of the aligned pipette tips contained within the underlying receiving plate of the stack. The transfer member has a plurality of projections extending from the bottom surface of the transfer member at positions that correspond to the location of the openings of the receiving plate. The projections are configured and arranged to extend into the top openings of the pipette tips on the upper-most receiving plate and maintain the pipette tips in a fixed and substantially perpendicular alignment in relation to the transfer member and receiving plate.
