Abstract
A pipetting system having a plurality of tip fittings whose spacing can be simultaneously, quickly, and accurately adjusted so that the spacing between each adjacent tip fitting is substantially identical. The tip fittings are attached one to another by a linkage such as a pantographic linkage. The spacing is limited by an adjustable, slidable stop. Uniformly increasing and decreasing the spacing is accomplished by pulling and pushing a rod attached to one tip fitting.
