Abstract:
Pipette tip couplers, pipette tips, coupler and tip combinations, and methods for coupling and decoupling a pipette tip to or from, respectively, a pipette tip coupler mounted on a pipette device. The pipette tip couplers include an elastomeric element, a discrete segment assembly, and a coupler stop shoulder surface. The pipette tips include a groove in a first cylindrical section, a second cylindrical section, a tip stop shoulder surface at the interface of the first and second cylindrical sections, a third cylindrical section, a sealing seat surface at the interface of the second and third cylindrical sections, and a fourth section adjacent to the third cylindrical section. When the pipette tip is mounted on the pipette tip coupler, the discrete segment assembly abuts the tip groove, the coupler stop shoulder surface abuts the tip stop shoulder surface, and the elastomeric element abuts the sealing seat surface.

Claim (Index 28):
The pipette tip of  claim 10  further comprising:\n an annular chamfered interior surface formed in the interior surface of the circumscribing sidewall extending radially inward from the open proximal end and terminating at a proximal end of the first section; \n wherein the stop shoulder surface is an annular, planar surface perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the pipette tip; \n wherein a portion of the sealing seat surface is an annular planar surface perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis of the pipette tip; \n wherein the annular groove is a V-shaped groove; and \n wherein the at least one frustoconical section further comprises:\n a fourth section formed in the interior surface of the circumscribing sidewall distal to the third section; and \n a fifth section formed in the interior surface of the circumscribing sidewall distal to the fourth section and proximal to the open distal end, wherein the fifth section has a greater taper than the fourth section.
