Claim:
1. A pipette for use with a pipette tip, the pipette comprising: a body including an end portion; an ejector member including an ejector end configured to reciprocate between a retracted position and an extended position with respect to the body, wherein the end portion of the body is configured to releasably grip the pipette tip when the ejector end is oriented in the retracted position, and wherein a movement of the ejector end from the retracted position to the extended position is configured to eject a gripped pipette tip from the end portion of the body; an adjustment device configured to adjust the extended position of the ejector end with respect to the body; a lock device configured to selectively inhibit operation of the adjustment device to adjust the extended position of the ejector end; and a link member, wherein the adjustment device adjustably couples the ejector member relative to the link member to adjust the extended position of the ejector end, wherein the lock device is configured to substantially prevent operation of the adjustment device from adjusting the extended position by substantially preventing a relative rotation of the link member with respect to the body.
