Abstract
A multichannel air-displacement pipette liquid-end assembly having a modular construction, which enables individual components to be easily replaced when they become contaminated or worn. The modular liquid-end assembly also enables selected piston and cylinder components to be selectively removed so that any one of a number of predetermined multichannel pipetting configurations can be employed. Additionally, the modular liquid-end assembly preferably comprises an ejector for providing low-friction mechanical advantage in order to facilitate dislodging spent tips.
