Abstract
A multichannel pipetting plate comprises a plurality of connectors arranged in a lattice; wherein each connector is fluidically connectable to a pipetting tip; wherein each connector comprises an interface at which a friction contact between the connector and a foot of the pipetting tip is established; wherein the interfaces of the connectors are arranged in different planes, such that, at least at a border region of the pipetting plate, along each row and along each column of the lattice, at least three consecutive interfaces are arranged in at least two different planes.

A multichannel pipetting plate, comprising:
- a plurality of connectors arranged in a lattice;
- wherein each connector is fluidically connectable to a pipetting tip;
- wherein each connector comprises an interface at which a friction contact between the connector and a foot of the pipetting tip is established;
- wherein the interfaces of the connectors are arranged in different planes, such that, at least at a border region of the pipetting plate, along each row and along each column of the lattice, at least three consecutive interfaces are arranged in at least two different planes;
- and
- wherein interfaces in the same plane are arranged mirror symmetrically with respect to a first middle axis of the lattice, which first middle axis is in parallel to the rows of the lattice, and are arranged mirror symmetrically with respect to a second middle axis of the lattice, which second middle axis is in parallel to the columns of the lattice.
