Abstract
A pipetting system having a plurality of fittings whose spacing can be simultaneously expanded from one dimension to another. Increasing the spacing is accomplished by pulling a rod, attached to one fitting, which elongates the series of fittings to a second position. In addition, there is a release mechanism for removing disposable tips attached to the fittings. The release mechanism can be operated in either position of the fittings. The mechanism is trigger actuated.
