Definitions
- the invention relates to a pipette tip family comprising pipette tips for use with pipettes of a pipette family and a pipette family comprising pipettes for use with pipette tips of a pipette tip family.
- the liquids can in particular be homogeneous (single-phase) liquids consisting of a single liquid component or a homogeneous mixture of several liquid components (solutions). Furthermore, the liquids can be heterogeneous (multiphase) mixtures of a liquid with another liquid (emulsions) or a solid (suspension).
- Pipettes have a stem-shaped pipette housing with a pin (shoulder) at the lower end for clamping on a pipette tip.
- the pin is often a conical, cylindrical or partially conical and cylindrical projection and is also referred to as a "working cone”.
- a pipette tip is a hollow tube with a tip opening at the lower end and an attachment opening at the upper end, with which the pipette tip can be clamped onto the pin.
- the liquid is taken up in the pipette tip and dispensed from it. The uptake and delivery of the liquid is controlled by means of the pipette.
- Fixed volume pipettes are used to pipette constant volumes. With variable pipettes, the volume to be dispensed can be set.
- a mechanical counter is used to display the set volume.
- the stroke of a drive device is by means of an adjusting device adjustable, which is coupled with the counter.
- the pipette tip is detached from the base after use and can be exchanged for a fresh pipette tip. In this way, cross-contamination can be avoided during subsequent pipetting operations.
- Air-cushion pipettes have a piston-cylinder system in the pipette housing, which is connected to a through hole in the pin via a channel.
- Pipette tips for air-cushion pipettes do not have an integrated piston.
- an air cushion is moved in order to suck in liquid into a pipette tip clamped onto the pin and to expel it therefrom.
- Disadvantages of air cushion pipettes are metering errors due to changes in the length of the air cushion due to the weight of the liquid sucked in and changes in temperature, air pressure and air humidity. Contamination of the pipette by aerosols can also be problematic.
- Air-cushion pipettes are available in different sizes, each with only one matching air-cushion pipette tip with a certain nominal volume or several matching air-cushion pipette tips with different nominal volumes close together. It is known that air-cushion pipettes and air-cushion pipette tips are identified by a color code in order to facilitate correct assignment. There is a risk of misinterpretation by the user, so that he uses the wrong combination of a pipette with a pipette tip.
- the US 6,749,812 B2 describes an air-cushion pipette with an automatic tip ejector which has a spring-loaded attachment for attaching pipette tips and a spring-loaded ejector sleeve guided thereon.
- Positive displacement pipettes are used with pipette tips with an integrated piston (positive displacement pipette tips).
- This type of pipette has a pin for fastening the pipette tip and a drive device, which can be coupled to the integrated piston (tip piston), for moving the piston.
- the piston comes in direct contact with the liquid, eliminating the adverse effects of an air cushion.
- Positive displacement pipettes are particularly suitable for dosing liquids with high vapor pressure, high viscosity or high density and applications in molecular biology where freedom from aerosols is important in order to avoid contamination.
- Air-cushion and positive displacement pipette tips for single use or for re-use are made of plastic or glass.
- the drive device has a lifting rod for moving a piston in a pipette tip, which has a hollow lower lifting rod part and an upper lifting rod part inserted into the lower lifting rod part from above.
- the upper lifting rod part is connected to an operating element which protrudes from an upper end of the pipette housing.
- a Mastertip® pipette tip from Eppendorf AG with a nominal volume of 20 ⁇ l can be clamped onto a spigot of the pipette. By pressing the operating element, the lifting rod can be moved downwards so that an upper end of the piston rod of a tip piston of the Pipette tip is pressed into the lower lifting rod part.
- a spring device When moving the lifting rod down to a lower stop, a spring device is pretensioned. After the control element is relieved of pressure, the spring device moves the lifting rod up to an upper stop, the tip piston being taken along and liquid being sucked into the pipette tip. The sucked-in liquid can be dispensed by pressing the control element again as far as the lower stop.
- the user To release the pipette tip, the user must press the control element with increased force so that another spring device compresses, the upper lifting rod part is shifted downwards in the lower lifting rod part, the piston is pushed out of the lower lifting rod part and the pipette tip is pushed off the pin.
- the Biomaster® pipette and the Mastertip® pipette tips are designed for pipetting in the volume range from 1 ⁇ l to 20 ⁇ l.
- the EP 2 574 402 B1 and the DE 199 48 818 A1 describe syringes with a coding and metering devices with sensors that scan the coding of the syringe used and output a display that is dependent on the type of syringe.
- the syringes are held by means of gripping levers or latches on a syringe flange of the syringe cylinder and grooves in the syringe plunger and are not clamped onto a pin and clamped in a hollow lifting rod like the positive displacement pipette tips.
- the invention is based on the object of creating positive displacement pipette tips and air-cushion pipettes with an extended area of application. Application errors should be avoided as far as possible.
- the range of application is expanded in that it includes pipette tips with an integrated piston of different tip types.
- the range of pipettable volumes is increased and / or the accuracy with which different volumes can be pipetted is improved.
- the range of application of the pipette tip family is expanded in that it comprises several subfamilies, each of pipette tips of the same tip type or pipette tips different tip type are formed, in which the upper ends of the piston rods in the lowest position of the piston have the same positions with respect to the seat area. This enables the use of pipette tips of different tip types with the same pipettes of a pipette type matched to them.
- the range of application is expanded in that these pipettes include different pipette types.
- the range of pipettable volumes is increased and / or the accuracy with which different volumes can be pipetted is improved.
- the area of application is increased by the fact that every pipette of a certain pipette type can be used with all pipette tips of a subfamily that is matched to it. This means that pipette tips of different tip types can be used with the same pipette.
- Pipetting is the process of picking up liquid in pipette tips and dispensing liquid from pipette tips using pipettes.
- pipette tips With the use of pipette tips with pipettes, holding pipette tips on pipettes and moving pipette tips held on pipettes becomes a thing of the past Moving pipettes and pipetting with the help of pipette tips and pipettes are referred to.
- pipette tips of different tip types differ from one another by one or more of the following features: nominal volume, shape, dimensions, material, coating of the surface, with or without treatment of the surface, electrically insulating or electrically conductive, degree of purity.
- the invention extends the field of application of pipette tips, in particular with regard to the aforementioned features, and at the same time avoids application errors.
- the pipette tips have a collar with the plug-on opening at the upper end and the seat area on the inner circumference of the collar.
- the collar is particularly advantageous for holding pipette tips on a carrier (rack) when storing, transporting and clamping pipette tips onto the pegs of pipettes.
- the collar can be advantageous for precise positioning of the pipette tip on the peg and for separating the pipette tip from the peg.
- Another embodiment comprises at least one subfamily with pipette tips of different tip types, each of these pipette tips having a collar with a height characteristic of the tip type and these pipette tips are designed with their seat area on the inner circumference of the collar on the same clamping area of a pin of a pipette of the same pipette type to be clamped so that they stand up with their collar different heights on the pin.
- the height of the collar is preferably the distance that the upper edge of the collar has in the vertical direction from the seat area of the pipette tip.
- Pipette tips with collars of different heights control a scanning element of a scanning device of the pipette in such a way that the scanning device sets a display of a display device of the pipette that is dependent on the type of pipette tip.
- the display is set in such a way that it indicates the tip type of the respectively attached pipette tip. In particular, this allows the volume displayed by the pipette to be set to the nominal volume of an attached pipette tip.
- Pipette tips with collars of different heights are defined in claim 8 and the corresponding parts of the description and the exemplary embodiments of FIG EP 18 168 763.3 described. Pipettes with a scanning device for scanning collars of different heights are described in claims 1 to 16, the corresponding parts of the description and the exemplary embodiments of the same patent application. In this regard, reference is made to the above patent application, the content of which is hereby incorporated into this application.
- the nominal volumes of pipette tips of different tip types for use with matched pipettes of the same pipette type differ from one another by one or more powers of ten. This is advantageous for the automatic setting of a volume display by means of a mechanical counter by adjusting a marking to different decimal places of the counter.
- the seat area of the pipette tips has a bead running around the inner circumference of the tip cylinder for snapping into an annular groove of the clamping area surrounding the outer circumference of the pin of a pipette and / or the seat area of the pipette tips has an annular groove running around the inner circumference for snapping one on outer circumference of the pin of a pipette encircling bead of the clamping area.
- This keeps the pipette tips securely on the spigot. Furthermore, this can ensure that a defined position of the pipette tips on the pin is maintained. This contributes to the fact that the pipette tip of each subfamily can only be used with a specially designed pipette.
- the positions occupied by the upper ends of the piston rods in the respective lowest position of the tip piston relate to the bead or the annular groove of the pipette tips.
- the pipette tip family comprises pipette tips of at least one tip type of a first subfamily with an upper end of the piston rod arranged in the deepest position of the tip piston in a first position above a bead surrounding the inner circumference of the tip cylinder for use with matched pipettes of a first pipette type , Pipette tips of at least one further tip type of a second subfamily with an upper end of the piston rod in the deepest position of the tip piston in a second position below an upper end of the piston rod arranged on the inner circumference of the tip cylinder for use with matching pipettes of a second pipette type and pipette tips of at least one other Tip type of a third subfamily with one in the lowest position of the tip piston in a third position between the first and second positions Thin upper end of the piston rod for use with a matching pipette of a third pipette type.
- the upper end of the piston rod of the pipette tips of the third subfamily is arranged in the respective lowest position of the tip piston at approximately the same level as the bead.
- the pipette tip family comprises pipette tips with nominal volumes of 10 ⁇ l and 100 ⁇ l of a first subfamily for use with pipettes of a first pipette type, pipette tips with nominal volumes of 25 ⁇ l and 250 ⁇ l of a second subfamily for use with pipettes of a second pipette type and a pipette tip with a nominal volume of 1000 ⁇ l of a third subfamily for use with pipettes of a third pipette type.
- the pipette tip family comprises pipette tips in which the piston rods in a lower rod section with a larger outer diameter have a clamping groove for clamping a clamping element of the lifting rod and above that in an upper rod section have a smaller diameter than the lower rod section, so that the upper rod section does not have a diameter of the clamping element of the lifting rod can be clamped. This ensures that the pipette tip can only be connected to the type of pipette intended for it.
- the pipette tip family comprises pipette tips in which the tip piston has a stop for support at the edge of a hole at the lower end of the lift rod below a clamping groove for clamping a clamping element of the lifting rod and / or below a lower rod section for clamping a clamping element of the lifting rod.
- the stop prevents the piston rod from being pushed so deep into the receptacle of the lifting rod that the liquid picked up by the pipette tip cannot be completely dispensed. Without the stop, this would occur, for example, when highly viscous liquid is pipetted.
- the pipette tip family comprises pipette tips made of one or more plastics.
- the pipette tips are made of polypropylene and / or polyethylene.
- the tip cylinders are made of polypropylene and the tip pistons are made of polyethylene.
- the control device of the pipette of at least one pipette type is a mechanical control device.
- the pipettes of all pipette types have a mechanical control device.
- the control device of each pipette of the pipette family is designed (i.) When scanning a piston rod, which has the length of the piston rod of a pipette tip of a subfamily matched to the pipette, to put the drive device into a state enabling pipetting and to clamp the To allow pipette tip on the pin and lifting rod and / or (ii) when scanning a piston rod that is shorter than the piston rod of a pipette tip of a subfamily matched to the pipette, to put the drive device in a state that does not allow pipetting and / or (iii.) when scanning a piston rod that is longer than the piston rod of a pipette tip of a subfamily matched to the pipette, to prevent the pipette tip from jamming on the peg and / or the lifting rod.
- This ensures that the pipette Each pipette type can only be used with pipette tips from a matching subfamily.
- the control device is at the same time an ejection device which can be used to release used pipette tips from the pipette.
- a pipette tip can be pressed off the spigot.
- the operating element is rotated from the ejection position into the pipetting position when the first scanning element scans the piston rod of a subfamily matched to the pipette. If the piston rod is shorter, the operating element is not turned into the pipetting position, so that the ejection device prevents pipetting. In this embodiment, even if the piston rod is so short that it is not scanned by the elongated first scanning element, the operating element is not rotated from the ejection position into the pipetting position, so that pipetting is prevented.
- control device is at the same time a device for the form-fitting connection of a pipette tip with the pipette, so that the pipette tip can be held particularly securely on the pipette.
- the locking sleeve is shifted to the locking position before the pipette tip is sufficiently pushed onto the pin, i.e. when the pin narrows so elastically and / or the pipette tip expands so elastically is that the locking sleeve cannot be moved into the locking position.
- the operating element is not moved from the ejection position to the pipetting position, which also prevents pipetting.
- the control device of each pipette comprises a stop which limits the sliding of pipette tips onto the peg, so that when a pipette tip is pushed onto the peg with a collar that is longer than the collars of the pipette tips of a subfamily matched to the pipette, the Stop prevents the pipette tip from jamming on the pipette.
- the control device also ensures that pipette tips that are matched to the pipette have a defined seat on the pin. In this way, the forces for clamping the pipette tips onto the pegs and for releasing the pipette tips from the pegs can also be limited.
- the stop can in particular be formed by a surface on the underside of the pipette housing, by a shoulder of the pin or by a surface on the underside of a fourth scanning element which can be displaced against a further stop of the pipette.
- the pin has a specific shape. According to a further embodiment, the pin is a conical, cylindrical or partially conical and cylindrical projection.
- the pin has several conical sections with different cone angles.
- the pin can have at least one cylindrical section.
- the invention further relates to a pipette system consisting of a family of pipette tips according to one of Claims 1 to 9 and a family of pipettes according to one of Claims 10 to 14.
- the terms “above” and “below” as well as “vertical” and “horizontal” and terms derived therefrom, such as “above” and “below”, “upright” and “upside down” and “ one above the other” refer to an arrangement of the pipette in which the pin is oriented vertically and is located at the downward-facing end of the pipette housing.
- the pipette tips these details relate to a vertical alignment of the central axis of the pipette tips, the tip opening being arranged at the bottom and the plug-on opening at the top.

- the different nominal volumes are characterized by the different heights of the collar 72.1 to 72.5 of the tip cylinder 67.1 to 67.5.
- the height of the collar 72.1 to 72.5 is given by the distance between the upper edge of the collar and the bead 75.1 to 75.5.
- the pipette tips 66.1, 66.3 with a nominal volume of 10 ⁇ l and 100 ⁇ l form a first subfamily 86.1.
- the upper ends of the piston rods 80.1, 80.3 in the lowest position of the tip pistons 68.1, 68.3 assume the same positions above seat areas 87.1, 87.3, which are defined by the circumferential bead 75.1, 75.3.

- the pipette tip 66.5 with a nominal volume of 1000 ⁇ l forms a third subfamily 86.3. This consists of only one family member. In this subfamily 86.3, the upper end of the piston rod 80.5 is arranged in the lowest position of the tip piston 68.5 approximately at the level of the upper edge of the seat area 87.5, which is defined by the bead 75.5.

- the tip piston 68 is each arranged in the lowest position in the tip cylinder 67.
- the position which the upper end of the piston rod 80 assumes in this situation is referred to in this application as the "starting position".
- Figure 13a shows the pipette 1.3 for pipetting volumes up to 1000 ⁇ l with an attached pipette tip 66.5 with a nominal volume of 1000 ⁇ l.
- the upper end of the piston rod 80.5 is approximately at the same level as the upper edge of the bead 75.5 of the tip cylinder 67.5.
- the collar 72.5 of the pipette tip 66.5 projects upwards with respect to the bead 75.5 over a length specific to the pipette tip 66.5 with a nominal volume of 1000 ⁇ l.
- the pipette tip 66.1 cannot be used with the pipette 1.3.
- the upper edge of the collar 72.1 presses the fourth scanning element 62 against an upper stop so that the pipette tip 66.1 cannot be pushed any further onto the pin 4.
- the piston rod 80.1 does not press the first scanning element 44 upward enough into the pipette 1.3, so that the operating element 18 is not shifted into the pipetting position in the center of the first housing slot 60 via the second housing slot 61.
- the position of the operating element 18 pivoted to the side in the first housing slot 60 prevents pipetting.
- a pipette tip 66.1 with a nominal volume of 10 ⁇ l is attached to the pipette 1.1 for pipetting volumes of up to 100 ⁇ l.
- the upper end of the piston rod 80.1 projects upwards over a certain length with respect to the bead 75.1 of the tip cylinder 67.1.
- the collar 72.1 of the pipette tip 66.1 extends over a length with respect to the bead 75.1 above, which is specific for the pipette tip 66.1 with a nominal volume of 10 ⁇ l.
- a pipette tip 66.3 with a nominal volume of 100 ⁇ l is attached to the pipette 1.1.
- the upper end of the piston rod 80.3 projects by the same height above the bead 75.3 as in the case of the pipette tip 66.1.
- the collar 72.3 of the pipette tip 66.3 projects upwards from the bead 75.3 over a length which is specific for the pipette tip 66.3.
- a pipette tip 66.2 with a nominal volume of 25 ⁇ l is attached to the pipette 1.2 for pipetting samples with a volume of up to 250 ⁇ l.
- the upper end of the piston rod 80.2 of the pipette tip 66.2 is arranged a certain length below the bead 75.2.
- the collar 72.2 of the pipette tip 66.2 projects upward with respect to the bead 75.2 by a length which is specific for the pipette tip 66.2.
- a pipette tip 66.4 with a nominal volume of 250 ⁇ l is attached to the pipette 1.2.
- the upper end of the piston rod 80.4 of the pipette tip 60.4 is arranged below the bead 75.4 by the same length as in the case of the pipette tip 66.2.
- the collar 72.4 of the pipette tip 66.4 projects upward by a length with respect to the bead 75.4 which is specific for the pipette tip 66.4.
- piston rods 80.1, 80.3 and 80.5 of the pipette tips 66.1, 66.3 and 66.5 are each too long, so that from the to Figure 13c pipetting is not possible.
- the ejection device 31 and the blocking device 50 are components of a mechanical control device 88 coupled to the first scanning element 44, which puts the pipette 1 into a state that enables or does not enable pipetting depending on the scanned piston rod 80.
- the pipette 1 can be used as follows: According to Fig. 1 and 8th a pipette tip 66 is held on the pipette 1 in an initial state.
- the seat area 87 is positively connected to the pin 4 by the bead 75 engaging in the annular groove 8.
- the operating element 18 is in the starting position at the upper end of the second housing slot, in which the first housing slot can be rotated in both directions.
- the maximum angle of rotation is limited by the extent of the first and second grooves 41, 43 in the circumferential direction or of the first housing slot, depending on which extent is smaller.
- the locking sleeve 51 is according to Fig. 4 arranged in the lowest position, so that it prevents unintentional detachment of the pipette tip 66 from the pin 4. A radial constriction would be required to break the positive connection of the pin 4 is required, which the locking sleeve 51 does not allow in this position.
- the tip piston 68 is clamped with the upper rod section 82 in the receptacle 27 of the lifting rod 17.
- the fourth scanning element 62 is pressed against the upper edge of the pipette tip 66 by the pretensioned helical spring 63.
- the position of the fourth scanning element 62 depends on the height of the collar 72 of the attached pipette tip 66 or on the length by which the collar 72 protrudes with respect to the bead 75.
- the height of the collar 72 is indicative of the nominal volume of the pipette tip 66 used.
- the fourth scanning element 62 is coupled to a diaphragm or other range setting device on the counter 65 via a slide (not shown) or another transmission device.
- the counter 65 indicates the volume that can be pipetted with the respective attached pipette tip 66 during the stroke set by means of the operating element 18.
- Embodiments of the pipette which has a scanning device for scanning the height of the collar of the pipette tip, as well as a family of pipette tips in which pipette tips of different types (eg with different nominal volumes) have collars of different heights, are described in the European patent application EP 18 168 763.3 described.
- the pipette 1 with the lower end of the pipette tip 66 held on it is immersed in a liquid. Thereafter, the operating element 18 is pressed down. This movement is converted by the transmission device 15 into a lifting movement of the lifting rod 17. As a result, the tip piston 68 is displaced upward.
- the upper rod section 82 takes the first scanning element 44 with it, so that the first guide pin 49 in the vertical part 42 of the Y-shaped first groove 41 upwards slides. Meanwhile, the locking sleeve 45 maintains its position. This is in Fig. 9 shown.
- the pipette tip 66 When the operating element 18 has carried out the set stroke, the pipette tip 66 is filled with a certain amount of liquid. The operating element 18 is then relieved and displaced back upwards by the spring device until it rests on the support ring 56. In order to dispense this amount of liquid, the pipette 1 with the pipette tip 66 can be aligned with another vessel. By pressing the operating element 18 downwards again, the lifting rod 17 is shifted downwards and the amount of liquid is dispensed. Here, the first guide pin 49 slides down to the junction of the first groove 41.
- the stroke performed by the operating element 18 when the liquid is taken up and dispensed depends on the set amount of liquid.
- the uptake and release of liquid can be carried out several times.
- the operating element 18 is pivoted from the pipetting position to the right or to the left into an ejection position. This rotates the rotary sleeve 33 so that the second groove 43 displaces the second guide pin 55 and thus the locking sleeve 51 upwards until the locking sleeve 51 has released the pin 4 to such an extent that it can be deformed radially inward.
- the locking sleeve 51 is preferably pulled out of the through hole 5.
- the first guide pin 49 is displaced downward in one of the two lateral sections of the lower part of the first groove 41, so that the first sensing element 44 presses against the tip piston 68, which is supported at the bottom on the tip section 78.
- the bead 75 exerts a radial force on the pin 4, so that the latter narrowed and the positive connection between pipette tip 66 and pin 4 is dissolved.
- the pipette tip 66 is released from the pin 4. This is in Fig. 10 shown.
- the stripping of the pipette tip 66 from the pin 4 can also be assisted by the fourth scanning element 62, which is pressed by the pretensioned helical spring 63 against the upper edge of the pipette tip 66.
- a new pipette tip 66 can be connected to the peg 4.
- the pipette 1 with the pin 4 can be inserted into the plug-on opening 71 of a pipette tip 66 held ready in a carrier.
- the fourth scanning element 62 is displaced upwards and the helical spring 63 is pretensioned.
- the display of the counter 65 is set to the attached pipette tip 66.
- the upper rod section 82 presses against the underside of the first scanning element 44, so that the first guide pin 49 slides as far as the first branch point of the first groove 41.
- the rotary sleeve 33 is rotated in the pipette housing 2 until the operating element 18 is in the pipetting position.
- the second guide pin 55 slides to the lowest point in the second groove 43.
- the locking sleeve 51 is in the locking position of Fig. 4 relocated, in which it prevents detachment of the pipette tip 66 from the pin 4.
- connection of the tip piston 68 to the lifting rod 17 and the pipetting can take place in the manner described above.
- a pipette tip 66.6 is shown, which extends from the pipette tip 66.5 of Figure 15e differs in that the piston rod 80.6 has a stop 89 below the clamping groove 83.6 at the lower end of the lower rod section 81.6.
- the stop 89 is formed by the top of a conical section 90 that widens upwards.
- the stop 89 is through the top of a disk or through several outwardly projecting projections distributed at the same height over the circumference of the piston rod 80.6.
- the stop 89 is positioned such that the piston rod 80.6 can be pushed so far into the receptacle 27 that the clamping spring 30 engages in the clamping groove 83.6.
- the abutment of the stop 89 on the edge of the hole 25 prevents the piston rod 80 from being pushed into the receptacle 27 any further.
- the tip piston 68.6 can only be pulled out of the receptacle 27 by overcoming the clamping force of the clamping spring 30. As a result, the tip piston 68.6 is held immovably by the lifting rod 17 both upwards and downwards. This avoids pipetting errors when aspirating and dispensing the liquid.
