Abstract
A multichannel pipette, the suction tube arrangement of which is arranged to be resilient, so that a disposable tip is attached similarly to each suction tube regardless of the shape and elastic characteristics of a tip rack. The pipette comprises a body and a plunger-cylinder system with suction tubes for each channel. Each suction tube is thus adapted to the body, that the suction tube is movable between two extreme positions in its vertical direction with respect to the body.
