Claim 11:
12. Method of connecting a combinable cavity tray (10) according to claim 1 or an assembly (100) of combinable cavity trays according to a pipetting apparatus with pipetting tubes (61), the method comprising:
inserting at least one pipetting tube (61) with its first end (62) in a cavity (20) of a combinable cavity tray (10) through the opening (22) of the cavity (20) with a first force to achieve a friction fit between the at least one pipetting tube (61) and the combinable cavity tray (10);
positioning the combinable cavity tray (10) connected to the at least one pipetting tube (61) on a rigid base and further inserting the at least one pipetting tube (61) in the cavity (20) with a second force being stronger than the first force to achieve a fluid-tight connection between the at least one pipetting tube (61) and the cavity (20) of the combinable cavity tray (10).
