Abstract:
A pipette controller for aspirating and dispensing multiple aliquots of a fluid from a reservoir of fluid. The pipette controller may include a pipette holder adapted to operatively connect a pipette to the pipette controller; a pressure tank pneumatically connected to the pipette holder; a pump pneumatically connected to the pressure tank and configured to inject air into the pressure tank to create positive air pressure inside the pressure tank; an aliquot valve controlling airflow between the pressure tank and the pipette holder; and an electronic control. The electronic control may open and close the aliquot valve

Claim (Index 9):
A pipette controller comprising:\n a pipette holder adapted to operatively connect a pipette to the pipette controller; a vacuum tank pneumatically connected to the pipette holder; a vacuum tank pressure sensor that measures air pressure inside the vacuum tank; a pump pneumatically connected to the vacuum tank and configured to evacuate air from the vacuum tank to create a negative air pressure inside the vacuum tank; an aliquot valve controlling airflow between the vacuum tank and the pipette holder; an aliquot volume control operable to select an aliquot volume; and an electronic control; wherein the electronic control opens and closes the aliquot valve; and wherein the electronic control opens the aliquot valve to begin fluid aspirations and closes the aliquot valve when the air pressure of the vacuum tank changes to a predetermined air pressure corresponding to the amount of air transferred from the pipette holder to the vacuum tank to aspirate a volume of fluid equal to an aliquot volume.
