View page
US Patent:
6428750, Aug 6, 2002
Filed:
Apr 13, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/548439
Inventors:
Kenneth Rainin - Piedmont CA
Phillip Yee - San Francisco CA
William D. Homberg - San Francisco CA
James S. Petrek - Danville CA
Assignee:
Rainin Instrument, LLC - Oakland CA
International Classification:
B01L 302
US Classification:
422100, 436180, 7386401, 7386411, 7386413, 7386414, 7386416, 7386418, 7386332, 222154
Abstract:
A volume adjustable manual pipette having a hand-holdable housing supporting (i) an electronic digital display and associated position sensing and control circuitry, (ii) a plunger unit and (iii) a quick set volume adjustment mechanism for simultaneously controlling the volume setting of the pipette and the electronic display, the quick set volume adjustment mechanism comprising a pipette volume setting member for limiting upward movement of the plunger unit within the housing to define the volume setting for the pipette and the volume setting member being supported for axial movement on the plunger unit and releasably secured relative to the housing by a pipette user operable locking mechanism. When released from the housing, the volume setting member is axially moveable on and with the plunger unit to quickly set the volume for the pipette. When secured to the housing, the plunger unit is axially moveable relative to the volume setting unit to aspirate and dispense the selected volume of liquid into and from a pipette tip extending from a lower end of the housing.

Pipette With Improved Pipette Tip And Mounting Shaft

View page
US Patent:
6568288, May 27, 2003
Filed:
Jun 29, 2001
Appl. No.:
09/895745
Inventors:
Kenneth Rainin - Piedmont CA
James S. Petrek - Danville CA
Assignee:
Rainin Instrument, LLC - Oakland CA
International Classification:
G01N 100
US Classification:
7386416
Abstract:
An air displacement pipette having axially spaced annular sealing and substantially cylindrical lateral support zones and regions on the pipettes mounting shaft and tip, respectively, in combination with means for insuring uniform depth of mounting shaft penetration into the pipette tip to maintain uniform tip interference with the mounting shaft as successive tips are mounted on and ejected from the mounting shaft whereby the pipette tip is easily and firmly mountable on and easily ejectable from the pipette tip mounting shaft by the application of axial mounting and ejection forces of about two pounds and one pound, respectively.
