Abstract
A pipetting system having at least one pipette tip receptacle with a pipette tip arranged therein that extends along a vertical axis and at least one gripper having a mechanical coupling, the gripper is coupled to the at least one pipette tip receptacle with the coupling and at least one grip element. The at least one grip element has at least one substantially vertical portion and at least one substantially horizontal portion and the coupling has a body having a through channel that extends along the vertical axis over the entire length of the coupling and the pipette tip extends along the through channel of the coupling.
Claims20
A pipetting system comprising:
- at least one pipette tip receptacle (4) with a pipette tip (40) arranged therein, which extends along a vertical axis (V),
- at least one gripper (1,2;5;6) comprising:
- a mechanical coupling (1) which extends along the vertical axis (V), wherein the gripper is coupled to the at least one pipette tip receptacle (4) with the coupling (1) and
- at least one grip element (2;5;6) which extends from the coupling (1) along the vertical axis (V), wherein the at least one grip element (2;5;6) comprises at least one vertical portion (20;50;60),
- characterized in that the coupling (1) comprises a body (10) having a through channel (100) which extends along the vertical axis (V) over the entire length of the coupling (1) and wherein the pipette tip (40) extends along the through channel (100) of the coupling (1), at least partially.
