Title:
A SEMI-AUTOMATIC PIPETTE FILLER INSTRUMENT AND A MODIFIED PIPETTE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/092777
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a semi-automatic pipette filler (SAPF) instrument, and an improved or modified pipette with suction pump with ergonomic features or design. The semi-automatic pipette filler (SAPF) has been tested for both graduated and volumetric pipettes of various sizes and can perform multipurpose tasks. It has been compared with the commercially available imported safety pipette fillers commonly used in various teaching and research laboratories in India and abroad. Handicapped people especially wheelchair bound users will find some of the designs rather convenient to use compared to commercially available ones. The SAPFs can be quickly assembled and dismantled. The overall performance of SAPFs has been very encouraging. Since pipettes are widely used in large numbers in educational, quality control and research laboratories there is considerable incentive for small scale and large scale industries to mass produce semi-automatic safety pipette fillers (SAPFs).
