Claim Text:
1. A system for tracking a pipette with respect to a well plate, the well plate including an array of well locations defining an X axis and a Y axis, the system comprising: a well designator defining a well area, the well designator to selectively identify each well location responsive to control signals; a sensor to detect positions of the pipette with respect to the well locations in the well area; control logic coupled to the sensor and the well designator, the control logic to develop the control signals responsive to the detected positions, and to resolve an incidence angle of the pipette with respect to the X and Y axis responsive to the detected positions, to locate a tip of the pipette with respect to the well locations; and a touchscreen having a user-interface area adjacent the well area to support an interface for a user of the pipette.
