US 2026/0061426 A1 · Apparatus for Laboratory Ware

Abstract

A laboratory ware magazine suitable for holding an array of pipette tips. The magazine is formed as a box which is substantially a sector of a cylinder, with a cylindrical or a polygonal cross section. A mounting plate within the box has apertures to hold the pipette tips directed radially inwards and the box has a lid which may be a removable plastic/foil. The boxes can be combined to form a compact cylindrical assembly for reduced transportation volume, while isolating pipette tips in smaller numbers to reduce the risk of contaminating large numbers of pipette tips found in prior art cylindrical magazines. Mounting receptacles are also described for single box use and for a cylindrical assembly to provide rotation to present each box in turn for use.
