Abstract

The embodiments disclosed herein relate to unitized reagent strips for holding and transporting reagents and materials used in automated sample preparation and/or processing for biological and or chemical assays. A first pipette sheath comprising an aperture pair is disclosed. The aperture pair includes a first cored hole and a second cored hole, wherein the first and second cored holes are located on opposing sides of the first pipette sheath, and wherein the first and second cored holes are positioned along the length of the first pipette sheath at the same distance from a first pipette tip aperture. The first and second cored holes are arranged coaxially about an axis transverse to a first longitudinal axis of the first pipette sheath.
