  • Method for microdispensing of fluids from a pipette
    Patent number: 6734424
    Abstract: An automated pipetting apparatus and method for forming sample spots on a support include a pipette. A robotic assembly moves a sample container, such as a multiwell microtiter plate, and the support to the pipette for receiving and dispensing liquid samples. The pipette draws a predetermined volume of the liquid sample from the sample container into the axial passage of the pipette and forms a pocket of a gaseous material above and forms a barrier material below the volume of the liquid sample. The liquid sample is drawn into the pipette a distance sufficient to form a space between the liquid sample and the outlet of the pipette and to contain the liquid sample completely within the pipette.
